Additional Frequently Asked Questions
The enclosure to the First Presidency letter "Ministering with Strengthened Melchizedek Priesthood Quorums and Relief Societies," dated April 2, 2018, included a number of questions and answers to help implement the changes announced in the April 2018 general conference.
Answers to additional questions are included here.
Quorums and Relief Societies
Yes. The bishop is the presiding high priest and "provides guidance and counsel to other leaders in the ward" (Handbook 1, 2.1.1). He reviews and approves ministering assignments. Under the direction of the bishop, the ward council continues in its essential role to "help individuals build testimonies, receive saving ordinances, keep covenants, and become consecrated followers of Jesus Christ" (Handbook 2, 4.4). The strengthened elders quorum and Relief Society—represented by their presidents, who are members of the ward council—will increase the effectiveness of that council.
These brethren are members of their ward elders quorum.
No. High priests serving in branch presidencies in a stake are not members of the high priests quorum. Members of the high priests quorum are only those whose callings in the stake presidency, in a bishopric, on the high council, and as a functioning patriarch require them to be high priests.
No. Elders serving in a bishopric are not members of the high priests quorum.
Yes. As part of their overall responsibilities, elders quorum presidencies should interview quorum members relative to all priesthood duties—including the well-being of the priesthood holder, his spouse, and his family—at least once a year. These interviews can be held throughout the year. This discussion should not be combined with a ministering interview in which a companion is also present.
Elders quorum and Relief Society presidencies may organize members to help accomplish the work as needed. For example, they may call members to lead and assist with such work as service, temple and family history, sharing the gospel, and welfare.
Yes. In the spirit of Doctrine and Covenants 107:89, when a ward has an unusually large number of active Melchizedek Priesthood bearers, leaders may organize more than one elders quorum. In such cases, each quorum should have a reasonable balance in terms of age, experience, and priesthood office and strength. Similar principles apply to Relief Society.
Under the direction of their bishop, the presiding high priest in the ward, the members of the high priests quorum and their families have ministering brothers and sisters assigned to them by their elders quorum and Relief Society.
Because stake presidencies and bishoprics are responsible for all members of the stake or ward, these brethren are not generally assigned as ministering brothers to specific individuals or families. High councilors and functioning patriarchs may be assigned, based on local circumstances, as determined by the stake president. If they are assigned, it would be by their elders quorum president under the direction of the bishop of their wards.
In addition to other important responsibilities such as presiding high priest and common judge in Israel, bishops have a specific responsibility, along with their counselors, to care for the youth. Doctrine and Covenants 107:15 reads, "The bishopric is the presidency of this [the Aaronic] priesthood, and holds the keys or authority of the same." Handbook 1, 2.2, states, "Members of the bishopric watch over and nurture young men and young women in the ward."
Similarly, the stake president, as the presiding high priest of the stake, is "the primary spiritual leader in the stake" (Handbook 1, 1.1.1) and "presides over the work of salvation" (Handbook 1, 1.1.2).
No. A president has two counselors. If leaders find that additional help is needed, they can counsel with their bishop about calling one or more ministering secretaries. These ministering secretaries may be assigned, for example, to schedule ministering interviews and to help prepare a quarterly report of interviews.
The callings of ministering coordinator and ministering supervisor have been discontinued. Those who have been called to these positions should be released.
Each member of elders quorum and Relief Society presidencies conducts ministering interviews. Even in a large ward, leaders will find that interviews are manageable when a few are held each week by each presidency member. Ministering interviews do not need to be long to be effective.
Ministering interviews can and should be held throughout each quarter—and not reserved for the last week or last month of the quarter. As leaders hold interviews regularly, they will find that they can accomplish the spiritual and temporal purposes of ministering.
Including Youth in Ministering
Yes. The guidelines in the recent document "Preventing and Responding to Abuse" allow for ministering companionships with youth assigned as companions to adults. "Ministering" is not considered an "activity" or "class," as referred to in those guidelines.
Leaders should use inspired judgment when assigning youth as ministering companions. Adult companions should avoid situations that might be misunderstood. They should exercise care regarding isolated one-on-one situations so that youth have a safe and rewarding experience with ministering. Additionally, wisdom should be exercised in not assigning youth to difficult home or family situations.
Mia Maids and Laurels may be invited to minister. Parents and leaders counsel with each young woman, and when her circumstances are such that she can and is willing to serve, she may be given a ministering assignment. Young women serve as companions to Relief Society sisters.
With the bishop's approval, a member of the Relief Society presidency extends ministering assignments to Mia Maids and Laurels. And, with the bishop's approval, a member of the elders quorum presidency extends ministering assignments to teachers and priests.

Michaelmas Week 0 to Week 1
Four old school friends – Ella, Cathie, Robyn and Sal – reunite at a bar to reminisce about the good old days. However, Philippa, the fifth member of the group, is noticeably absent; upon discovering her old diary, she decides to do some reminiscing of her own. Over the course of the evening, we rediscover the group's school days and watch as their friendships become increasingly fractured, as arguments over schoolwork, the pressure to fit in and their complicated love lives tear apart even the closest of friendships. As these arguments work their way into the present day, we are left to wonder – do people ever really change?
'Don't Ever Change' is an original musical written by Elspeth Collard and Rebecca Rebis coming to Brickhouse following its successful Edinburgh run. Reviewed as having 'some really impressive voices and musical talents', with a 'ridiculously catchy (and often deeply moving) musical score', this is not a show to be missed!

Inside the UK's new healthcare photonics centre
The UK's new National Centre for Healthcare Photonics, due to open later this year, will help medical device companies to develop and refine their photonics-based technology, creating new products for the healthcare market. Elliot Gardner finds out more.
Photonics has been identified as one of the fastest growing areas within healthcare. Later this year the UK's Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) will be opening a new National Centre for Healthcare Photonics to help companies develop novel technologies for healthcare applications, featuring an open-access workspace designed for industry collaboration.
From x-ray imaging to digital histology, the study and utilisation of photonics plays an integral role throughout the healthcare sector. We spoke to strategic programmes manager at the CPI, Dr Tom Harvey, to find out what the new national centre will offer the medical technology community.
Elliot Gardner: Why is the CPI creating a centre for healthcare photonics?
Dr Tom Harvey: This project was started about three years ago. The concept was based on the idea that photonics was an important underlying technology, and that the healthcare market is not an easy one for companies to develop new products for and to get into.
If you're a company in the UK, and particularly a small company, the barriers for developing any new product with a medical application are fairly high, and they're getting higher. You need to operate under the appropriate quality control and regulatory system for medical device manufacturing, you need to pay attention to the pathway by which the device will be adopted, and you need to understand how it's going to be used in a clinical care setting. The time that it takes for companies to get their new technologies approved is a long process.
There's a lot of excellent research going on in the UK in photonics, with academic groups up and down the country working on research and innovation in this area, but when new technologies come through, it can be quite difficult to bring them to market.
We want to try to create a centre that can become a location with the necessary approvals facilities to allow companies to develop their new prototype products before they get to the commercialisation stage, to help ease the whole process. We want to get them to a point where they can manufacture and get their products into a pre-clinical assessment stage or an initial clinical trial. It allows them to get the data for their technical file, which will allow them eventually to get approval in order to eventually use the device or treatment for the medical market.
Can you tell us more about the centre and its facilities?
We put a proposal in to the North East Local Enterprise Partnership, which helps promote economic growth in the north east of England. In 2017 they agreed to support the centre with an £8m grant.
Prior to this, we had carried out two years of workshops and market studies to research biophotonics companies in the UK that might be interested in receiving support. We based our designs for the centre on the feedback that we received from those companies, and from advice gained from talking to academics up and down the country.
We started the building process in October 2017, and the centre is about half-way constructed at the moment. It's based at the North East Technology (NET) park, just on the edge of the town of Sedgefield in Country Durham. The CPI already has two national centres here at the NET park; the National Printable Electronics Centre, and the new National Formulation Centre which has just opened and will adjoin the National Centre for Healthcare Photonics.
The centre will have space for approximately 60 people to work in over two floors, and contains a mixture of specialist optics labs, life sciences labs, and electronic and X-ray development laboratories.
There's a space specifically for companies to manufacture small or prototype quantities of medical devices at the required standards for medical device manufacturing. We will also have some prototyping facilities that are suitable for when product concepts are being tested. We have a number of additive print machines that allow you to visualise what that product will look like in its physical form.
Then there will be offices, and meetings and seminar rooms, because obviously an important part of the new centre's activity will be about knowledge sharing, both with industry and with academia. The companies don't get their own laboratory space, as everything is shared, including shared equipment, but they can have their own office space which is private to them.
What's the process for getting involved with the industry collaboration space?
Well, while the centre is still being built at the minute, we already have at least seven client offices allocated within it. There's space for about 28 people, and the way it works is that we would agree with a company a specific project that they would like to work together on, with either the company funding that commercially or jointly working with us through public grants, and then the company can rent public office space and use the equipment and facilities in the new centre to carry out their research programme.
Where it's done in a joint grant situation, they may just pay for the office space, but commercially they would also pay to use equipment as and when they require it.
That's just one of our collaboration models; sometimes a company might pay a retainer, or they might ask for our staff to carry out work for them on their behalf. This can be a handy solution for extending their labour resource for a project, often there's only one person in the company.
Everyone we've employed so far for the photonics centre has a very strong background in photonics, either in academia or in industry, so we can usually give quite a lot of business and technical support to companies working on their projects.
Are you aiming to further develop photonics in general or is your main focusing on commercial products?
It's not our intension to repeat the excellent work that's been done in various university departments up and down the country in pushing forward the boundaries of different photonic techniques, such as new laser systems, or the latest in light source technologies.
We're obviously particularly interested in the healthcare space, and that means we're particularly focusing on areas such as allowing companies to access blood and tissue samples. We'll have the necessary regulatory approvals in place for us to be able to obtain the samples you need as a company. We can take on a lot of the regulatory burden so the company doesn't have to. That's more the focus rather than pushing a particular photonic technology forward.
But where groups have developed new and improved systems, I think it's our role to help companies move it from the research bench, through to a prototype product, and then potentially something they can introduce into real life healthcare with patients. We don't intend to have patients through the door of the new centre, but we do work very closely with local hospitals and hospital trusts.

Our Crime Was Being Jewish
Hundreds of Holocaust Survivors Tell Their Stories
- 21,99 €
- 21,99 €
Descripción editorial
In the shouted words of a woman bound for Auschwitz to a man about to escape from a cattle car, "If you get out, maybe you can tell the story! Who else will tell it?"
Our Crime Was Being Jewish contains 576 vivid memories of 358 Holocaust survivors. These are the true, insider stories of victims, told in their own words. They include the experiences of teenagers who saw their parents and siblings sent to the gas chambers; of starving children beaten for trying to steal a morsel of food; of people who saw their friends commit suicide to save themselves from the daily agony they endured. The recollections are from the start of the war—the home invasions, the Gestapo busts, and the ghettos—as well as the daily hell of the concentration camps and what actually happened inside.
Six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, and this hefty collection of stories told by its survivors is one of the most important books of our time. It was compiled by award-winning author Anthony S. Pitch, who worked with sources such as the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to get survivors' stories compiled together and to supplement them with images from the war. These memories must be told and held onto so what happened is documented; so the lives of those who perished are not forgotten—so history does not repeat itself.
Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Arcade, Good Books, Sports Publishing, and Yucca imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs. Our list includes biographies on well-known historical figures like Benjamin Franklin, Nelson Mandela, and Alexander Graham Bell, as well as villains from history, such as Heinrich Himmler, John Wayne Gacy, and O. J. Simpson. We have also published survivor stories of World War II, memoirs about overcoming adversity, first-hand tales of adventure, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Perception: a way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something; a mental impression.
Everything we do as educators communicates something to our students. They regularly form perceptions through everyday classroom and school experiences on whether or not educators support their college and career readiness. The hallways they walk down speak to them. Classroom instruction and design send messages to students about teacher expectations and beliefs. But do educators have enough opportunities to learn from students about their perceptions and use the information to drive improvements?
Join us at the 2019 AVID National Conference to attend our "Using Student Voice to Assess the Impact of Adult Behavior" session, where participants will learn practical ways to use student voice to inform and assess the impact of altering adult practices.
Looking through the lenses of Instruction, Systems, Leadership, and Culture, the session will utilize a continuous improvement process to change adult practice by listening to student voice. Participants will engage in interactive opportunities to brainstorm with other practitioners while analyzing their own district's or school's practices. Participants will leave with a gap analysis addressing student perspectives on teacher mindset and an action plan for monitoring efforts to shift adult behavior.
We invite current AVID member districts as well as those interested in learning more about AVID to discover how it might impact their schools and communities. Visit https://www.avid.org/national-conference for more details and to register.

Public speaking skills are the hallmark of many successful leaders, managers, executives and entrepreneurs. Yet, the practice fills many people with fear and uncertainty. It doesn't have to be that way! Learn how to rapidly develop your confidence and competence in public speaking with Toastmasters.
Key Facts About Public Speaking and ToastMasters
- Many members of Toastmasters are highly educated (39% have a Bachelor's degree) an earn high incomes – 47% earn $75,000 US in income or more. (source: Toastmasters Demographics 2013 Member Survey Results)
- Public speaking anxiety and anxiety can be traced to our ancestors who feared being noticed by predators (source: Psychology Today)
- Warren Buffet, the highly successful investor and manager, considers communication skills to be the single most important skillset to develop. (source: Warren Buffett's $100,000 Offer and $500,000 Advice for Columbia Business School Students, CNBC)
- 70% of employed Americans consider public speaking skills essential to career success (source: Forbes)
- Public speaking is considered one of the top five most desirable skills to get hired fast in 2015 (source: Five in-demand skills you probably already have that can get you hired fast, Workopolis)
Given the challenges and benefits of Toastmasters, you might think that membership is highly expensive. At the time of this writing, an annual membership costs less than $100. Compared to many other organizations, that is a bargain! Affordability is only one reason to consider Toastmasters. The organization's educational materials and supportive culture are also very helpful. The opportunity to give short speeches and presentations surrounded by people who give you encouragement and useful feedback is one of the top benefits of participating in Toastmasters.
My Toastmasters Experience
Several years ago, I joined a company sponsored Toastmasters club. I joined the club because I wanted to develop my skills and expand my internal network at the company. The club I joined had been in service for over ten years. That long history meant a robust leadership – every leadership role was filled. Even better, average attendance at club meetings was a dozen people or more. The club staff did good work in welcoming both as a guest and a new member. Over the course of a year, I gave ten speeches and completed the Competent Communication program. A few years later, I still remember two speeches with pride: a speech about a successful negotiation I led with my Internet service provider and one about what I learned from the book Decisive.
How To Develop Your Career With Toastmasters in 6 Steps
As the research at the top of this article shows, there are many benefits to developing your public speaking and presentation skills. While you can study presentation technique to a degree by reading books and observing great presenters, there is no substitute for personal experience. Use this process to build your public speaking skills.
1. Locate A Club Near You
Many cities and towns have multiple Toastmasters clubs so you are likely to find a club that suits your location and schedule needs. In fact, many Fortune 500 companies have in-house ToastMasters clubs including Apple, Disney, Google, Microsoft, and Bank of America. I joined a corporate club and had a great experience but that is certainly not your only option. For example, the New York City area has over 200 clubs (the majority of these are open clubs that anybody can join). Over in the UK, London has approximately 60 clubs. San Francisco, CA has over 100 clubs.
Tip: Use the Find A Club tool on the Toastmasters International website to locate in your areas. You can also use the search tool to find clubs that with meetings that suit your calendar (e.g. find clubs that meet on Saturdays).
2. Attend A Club Meeting As A Guest
Most Toastmasters clubs permit guests to visit their clubs once or twice as a guest. As a guest, you have the opportunity to see the club in action, meet members and talk with the club's leaders. If you are looking into several clubs, I recommend attending two sessions to gain a better understanding of how they work.
Tip: Ask a club leader about the club's history and any special events coming up. For example, the area may have a humorous speech competition coming up – a fun way to develop your speaking skills.
3. Join A Club
If the club makes a good impression, it is time to join! You can join Toastmasters online or speak with one of the club's leaders to confirm the process. If you are unsure about whether the organization is for you, membership is generally offered on a six month basis.
4. Deliver A "Table Topics" Speech
Many Toastmasters clubs encourage their members to deliver short (60 seconds or less) remarks during meetings. These short speeches are designed to help you think on your feet as you only have a minute or so to prepare. Delivering one of these speeches is a great way to get your feet wet.
5. Obtain the "Competent Communicator" Manual
Toastmasters offers a range of manuals and programs to help people develop communication and leadership skills. An excellent entry point is the Competent Communicator manual (your club may provide you with a free copy – ask the club before you buy your own). With this educational program, you will deliver ten speeches to your club. Each speech is a project that develops different speaking skills. Some of the skills you will learn include research, speech organization, vocal variety and using visual aids.
Tip: Review Toastmasters Speech Series: Your Guide to the First 10 Speeches by Andrew Dlugan for an introduction to the Competent Communicator program.
6. Deliver Your First Speech
Why not speak about your career development and lessons learned? You could also give a speech about stress management techniques. Remember to practice your speech at home a few times before you speak at the club.
Tip: Feedback on your speaking is a key benefit of Toastmasters. Look for specific feedback you can use to improve your speaking.
Further Reading and Resources For Public Speaking
Public speaking and communication skills have been the subject of study and analysis by many experts. Here are a few additional resources you can use to build up your skills. For the best results, put these ideas into action with actual presentations.
