Why is there a Jordan Meadows Elders Quorum blog? Quite simply, there is not enough time to discuss everything that we would like to during our lessons. This blog will give those who desire the opportunity to focus on gospel related topics throughout the week, and not just for a few hours on Sunday.
Elder Ballard also recently urged members of the church to discuss issues related to the church in blogs or other forms of new media. See the article here.
Elder Ballard said there were too many conversations going on about the Church for Church representatives to respond to each individually, and that Church leaders “can’t answer every question, satisfy every inquiry and respond to every inaccuracy that exists.”
He said students should consider sharing their views on blogs, responding to online news reports and using the “new media” in other ways.
But he cautioned against arguing with others about their beliefs. “There is no need to become defensive or belligerent,” he said.
If you would like to be able to make posts to this blog, send an email to owen@brashers.com with the email address that you use to access your blogs. If you would like share your blog or another website with the rest of the quorum, forward the information to me as well.
