SALT LAKE CITY-Wednesday, under the direction of the First Presidency and the Quorum of Twelve Apostles, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has published updates to chapters in its General Handbook about Aaronic Priesthood quorums, young women and the Primary.

These chapters are available in English online and in the Gospel Library app.

General Handbook: Serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  replaced both Handbook 1 (for stake presidents and bishops) and Handbook 2 (for all other leaders) in February.

This new book, in digital form only, is accessible to anyone.

This book will be revised regularly to help leaders around the world to use Christlike care in implementing and adapting the Church’s various programs, policies and procedures for any circumstances.

With the revisions made Wednesday, 12 of the handbook’s 38 chapters have been updated.

The entire book will have been reworked by 2021.

Content in the chapters concerning the Aaronic Priesthood quorums, the young women and Primary have been organized around the work of salvation and exaltation (the organizing framework for the entire handbook).

These chapters can now be applied more effectively to congregations of all sizes.
