Voting procedure:
This will be a ballot-style vote. You will come in and fill out your paper ballot. Each in-person vote will be numbered and the voter will receive a receipt with their ballot’s number on it. The result will be announced here after all votes are counted. Volunteers chosen by fellowships are welcome to help count ballots after the vote.
Remote voting will be conducted the same way as it was for the Covenant of Christ vote. Fellowships may vote the week prior and deliver the ballots by hand from a fellowship representative the day of the vote.
Scripture Vote Zoom Meetings:
Chris Park will be hosting several recorded Zoom meetings leading up to the scripture vote conference to allow the body of believers to discuss the pros and cons of each submitted proposal. Meeting times are being scheduled. Check back here for a finalized schedule and link to join.
To keep things organized, here are expectations:
Everyone who wants to speak will have the chance to do so either by typing a comment in the Zoom chat or by raising their hand to speak to the group. If a large number of people wish to speak, there will be a time limit to give everyone a chance to be heard. If you know you want to convey information ahead of time, it’s recommended that you organize your thoughts beforehand to fit within a 1-3 minute limit.
Welcome! ​
We are excited to announce our spring conference, which will take place on April 12, 2025, in the Salt Lake area. This conference will have two sessions. The first session will be a part of an ongoing series of women's conferences. Stephanie Snuffer will facilitate this portion of the conference.
The second, general portion of the conference, will take place in the afternoon/evening. Time to be announced. During this general portion, we will vote on material to be included in the second printing of the scriptures. The vote will be in person and will be a simple majority vote. Fellowships may hold votes the week prior on Sunday, April 6th, record the votes, and send representatives with the votes to be counted at the conference.
This conference is separate from the conference being held the next day on April 13. Both conferences will hold votes for material to be included in the scriptures. Please attend and vote at both.
The vote at this conference is an open submission vote. We ask that if you desire to submit material for a vote, you are very circumspect about your submission. Adrian Larsen has given wise counsel regarding adding to scripture, and while we may not align perfectly with everything in this blog post, we believe it to be generally good advice, worthy of consideration prior to submitting material.​​
Vote Submissions Now Closed
The window for submissions will close on January 31, 2025, to give the people a reasonable amount of time to consider material before the vote.
Please send submissions to upcomingconferencesubmissions@gmail.com
Check back here frequently for updates.​ If you have any questions regarding this conference, please see the FAQ below.
Proposals in summary can be found in the viewer below. To see complete proposals with full explanations provided by the authors, navigate to FULL PDF PROPOSALS for those documents.
FAQ
Q: Are these competing conferences?
A: No. We are excited about the April 13 conference. We encourage everyone to go to both, as important voting will occur at both.
Q: Why not hold one vote for all material?
A: Those hosting the April 13 conference have specific parameters for what will be voted on at that conference. It includes material that has been revealed through Denver since the last printing of the scriptures in 2019. This conference will hold an open submission vote.
Q: What if someone submits something crazy? I don’t want anything crazy in covenantally binding scriptures.
A: The people of the congregation are intelligent, thoughtful, and capable of making prayerful, sound decisions. In past votes, the people have voted in material that should be included and voted out material that should be excluded. We believe this will be true for this vote.
Q: Shouldn’t only the Lord tell us what goes into the scriptures?
A: The glossary teaches what “scripture” is and how it expands:
Scripture
“Inspired writings containing information either directly quoting the Lord or containing lessons, experiences, events, or words of instruction that honor God. To be acknowledged, a conference must adopt the writing as part of a canon. People who are in a living covenant with God always have an open canon and expect additional scripture.” (Email to Scripture Committee, Feb. 8, 2018.)
