Under the drop down menu 'Other' in LCR I'm seeing a new category: Welfare Resources, with Ministering Resources as the only option.

We've seen wonky situations with the All Tools section, noted here: https://tech.lds.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=112&t=20257

But is this something coming to the Ward Council? Or is this another case of wonky-ness going on?

I don't think this is new -- it's been around for about a year, as I recall. The Ministering Resources were announced in a letter from the First Presidency dated 25 October 2013, and are also available via the shortcut ministering.lds.org. That letter specifically mentioned that these resources would be available via Leader Resources (that was back before Leader Resources and Clerk Resources were merged into a single site).
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

Ahh, so not new and not something coming to the Ward Council members?

Then this is definitely one of those wonky issues. Especially since it's not like my All Tools issue where items come and go. This one seems to be constant.

Maybe the WC will get access eventually.

Ward Council members do have access to Ministering Resources, since November, according to this article:

Ah this is good to know! I guess they are still working out the permissions as most, if not all of those topics return an "Access Denied" page.

Or perhaps, this is only available to the president.
