Ep 80 — More Changes in the Bishop’s Handbook; MoF Part 5

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bishop’s Interviews Survey:</span> <a href= "https://forms.gle/LrhBWKkyX8DeGanh8"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://forms.gle/LrhBWKkyX8DeGanh8</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The recent updates to the recently openly-published church handbook contain some fascinating details, some of which have stirred controversy and caused Mormons to leave the church! Shannon walks us through a few of the prominent changes and helps put them in context by comparing the 2020 Handbook to the 2006 Bishop’s Handbook. Then it’s off to the next segment of Miracle of Forgiveness. Spence tells us about repenting or perishing, abandoning sin, and awakening to sins we’re committing. He also spends some time justifying the holocaust and genocide of Native Americans after which he commits egregious sins against founding member of the church, Oliver Cowdery. Then we wrap with some happy news about the job market in climate studies and activism! Be sure to chime in for our survey about bishop’s interviews if you’d like to contribute your voice to the next segment of Miracle of Forgiveness. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Show notes: </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bishop’s Interviews Survey:</span> <a href= "https://forms.gle/LrhBWKkyX8DeGanh8"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://forms.gle/LrhBWKkyX8DeGanh8</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Changes to Bishop’s Handbook:</span> <a href= "https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/general-handbook-update-december-2020"> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/general-handbook-update-december-2020</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Happy News: “No point in anything else!” Gen Z members flock to climate careers:</span> <a href= "https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/sep/06/gen-z-climate-change-careers-jobs"> <span style= "font-weight: 400
