T&FH calling

Just sent feedback through the website but I thought it might be worth a shot to post my proposal here.

Per handbook 25.2.3 a temple and family history “leader” SUPPORTS the temple and family history efforts that are ”LEAD” by the EQ/RS presidents. In our ward the family history “leader” is attempting to encourage the EQ/RS to lead however the effort is hampered by the title family history leader. I propose that leadership consider options including changing the name of the calling from Temple and family history leader, to Temple and family history assistant.

Family History Leader, Ward Mission Leader, ... are all optional callings to assist the Elder's Quorum Presidency.
It's a blessing to the EQ Presidency to have them as it lightens their load, but that's not possible in all areas.

It sounds like someone just needs to point the FHL to the Handbook. The EQ Presidency should be meeting with them regularly too. Many in the church are leaders, but they all report to someone who oversees them.

My ward currently doesn't have FHL (EQ is managing everything directly), but we do have a good number of Family History Consultants to support them.

Thanks I’m familiar with the handbook instructions and who attends the meeting, or “huddle”. Our ward is huge and does have a T&FH leader. The handbook clearly says that the EQ & RS -LEAD- and the T&FH leader -SUPPORTS- as T&FH my point is that the position, church wide, shouldn’t include the word leader. Since the focus should clearly be on the RS and EQ to lead the T&FH effort in the ward, we should be called something like Ward T&FH Assistant.
