How to order "Handbook 2: Administering the Church"?

Hello!

Does anyone know how to order "Handbook 2: Administering the Church"? We have a Portuguese group that meets as part of our ward and my Bishop would like me to order 5 copies of the handbook for this group to use as a reference.

Naturally I went to "Leader and Clerk Resources." I then selected "Purchase Materials" from the "Applications" pull-down menu. However, I can't located the Handbook anywhere on the store.lds.org site. Any advice?

Thanks in advance!

I went store.lds.org, "Unit Materials" > "View More" > "Reference and Handbooks" > "Handbook 2".

But it's worth pointing out that it's in electronic form in the Gospel Library App .

Did you log in with your LDS Account before looking? Unless you log in (and have a clerk or leadership calling) you probably won't see it.

I wonder if I don't have the proper permissions? When I pull up store.lds.org from leader and clerk resources this is my screen (see image #1)
Once I click on "Unit Materials" I get this screen... and I'm only able to access the Staple's portal. I can't locate anything that says "View More." (see image #2)
Do you think this is a permissions problem?

What is your calling?

My calling is: Ward Assistant Clerk--Membership

I would think you would be able to order it but it's possible it's limited to the Ward Clerk or bishop. I'd ask your ward clerk to try.

Try going direct to store.lds.org.

haha... actually we don't have a "Ward Clerk." We have two assistant clerks. Sooo.... maybe that's part of the problem. I'll ask the financial clerk if he has the ability to order it.

Thanks!

I really doubt the financial clerk will be able to if you can't. You may have to ask the bishop do it or (probably better) just try calling them instead. Another option would be to ask a stake clerk to order it for you.

Also worth noting here is they recently sent out notifications of a few new updates to Handbook 2, one was last August to 21.1 for social media, and there were several other minor but important updates sent out recently. Those may already be found in the Gospel Library app and web versions of the handbook.

That's also odd not to have a main 'ward clerk', that's on the Chart of Callings, and any assistant clerks are specialized over different functions such as membership or financial. The ward clerk would also be the one involved with taking the minutes of certain meetings probably outlined in Handbook 1, along with some duties outlined in Handbook 2.
