Please tune in! You are also invited to contribute to the conversations in the Comments section for this episode at Russell M. ![]() We believe that anyone who listens to this episode will be captivated by the fun the panelists had together even while they were raising deeply heartfelt issues and experiences. Dan closes this section by offering a few comments that remained on his list but were unspoken during the main recording session. Part 2 features discussions of the panelists other highlights or lowlights, and is careful to be aware of those who are listening who might not have followed conference at all and are coming to this episode for their first exposure to what went on and how many our reacting to it. Part 1 addresses a few talks, though some of the same ones continue to be discussed in the second part, but it primarily features an extended conversation about the General Women’s Session and its messaging, both wonderful and hurtful, not to mention confusing in its mixed signaling. ![]() It then turns to key talks and features of the conference. The discussion begins with reactions to, and wondering how the newly announced two-hour block of meetings will play out in the lives of Latter-day Saints. Along with Mormon Matters host, Dan Wotherspoon, each shared from her or his compassionate and empathetic heart and soul, offering gratitude and praise where they felt it was deserved (and the cases were many), and sorrow, frustration, confusion, and genuine exasperation, sorrow, and hurt over some teachings or leader choices that called for it. What followed was a remarkably energetic, passionate, moving-as well as fun (even a slight bit snarky at times conversation). ![]() It was a fascinating conference with quite a few different dynamics at play, and so we gathered the next evening three wonderful and brilliant church and conference watcher- Jenne Alderks, Scott Turley, and Sara Lake-to share their immediate, raw, unprocessed but very powerful takes on what they noticed and how they experienced it. The October 2018 General Conference has just ended, but certainly not the discussion of it! Not for many, many months in our wards, stakes, and various gatherings of Mormons, and not here on Mormon Matters podcast (though we promise it won’t be for “months and months”)! 515: Thoughts on the October 2108 General Conference, Part 2 Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
