Nov 13 Worldwide Leadership Broadcast schedule

FYI, the schedule for the upcoming Worldwide Leadership Training broadcast is now available on the wiki at Satellite program schedule. As previously announced, the topic is the new Church handbooks (see the calendar item for topic and list of those to attend).

The program length is two hours, and the broadcast start times are every three hours starting at noon MST (1900 UTC) on Friday, November 12, and continuing through 9:00pm MST on Saturday, November 13 (0400 UTC on Sunday, November 14).

The program can be recorded and viewed at a later time. All the details are on the wiki page linked above in the STS How to View instructions.

Thanks Alan. This is really helpful to have this information in advance.

The "current" posting on the link refers to a TWO hour broadcast. Also interesting to note is that recording is prohibited.

The link to the broadcast instructions refers to a newer file version, so maybe this is a/the change. I didn't see the original version.

This was a change (probably more accurate to say a correction -- I doubt it was ever really planned for just one hour). If you follow the STS How to View link I gave in my original post, you'll see the first version is the source I used. Also, the first version said recording was allowed for Church purposes, so the recording prohibition is another change, which is definitely worthy of note.

Thanks for pointing this out. I edited my original post to avoid confusion.

Should I conclude that the "no recording" policy also means there will be no posting of the audio or video on the church web site? The previous Worldwide training has been available to watch online and download for personal use. So I was convinced that this newest broadcast would be the same. In fact, I was counting on it since my inconsistent work schedule will most likely compel me to miss whatever broadcast time my stake leadership will choose.

Any chance that an audio or video stream could be made available through the "tools" for my calling at new.lds.org? At least that would prevent the recordings from being available to the general public. I was hoping that, as with General Conference, those recordings would appear within a few days of the event.

Or is this event and related policies regarding recording being mixed up with a temple groundbreaking the same day? Gilbert Arizona Temple. Those are not normally recorded or posted, the exception was Draper a few years back and that DVD was sent to leaders.

You probably conclude correctly.

You may be able to make arrangements with your stake presidency to view the broadcast at a different time.

And, since leaders are always changing, I expect that stake presidencies will be asked to continue regular training from the Handbook as they were counseled at the broadcast training they received when the last edition of the Handbook was released.

And then, there is always the actual reading of the Handbook (on or after November 13th), of course.

On to STS_How_to_view.pdf there's a refuse.
UTC Friday 1900 is doubled.
The second mean 2200, I suppose.

You're looking at the old version. On the current version, that error is corrected.

I received an Email from my stake president this morning who quoted a recent message from Office of The Seventy stating that recording of the broadcast was OK. In addition it was mentioned that a copy of the training broadcast would be posted.

Well then, good. Those who miss the broadcast will have a chance to view it in all its glory.

Oh, come on now. Actually read the handbook?? That's pretty radical.
Can;t help but wonder where we'd be if everyone did read, and follow, the handbook.

Phone call one.
Q1: What should we do about . . . ?
A1: Do you have the Handbook? On page nn it suggests that . . . .

Phone call two.
Q2: Where does it say in the Handbook what we should do about . . . ?
A2: I think you will find it on page nn. Let's see. Yes, there it is. Does that answer your question?

Phone call three.
Q3: I have read what the Handbook says about this and I have a question on how to implement it in our unit.
A3: Based on what the Handbook says, have you considered this approach?

That's how we do Handbook training around here.

I've been out of leadership callings for about two years now, am an FH consultant so all I use now is Book 2 Section 9, and 16 since I occasionally teach the FH class.

That said, I hope I can offload the audio/video from lds.org so that I better understand how to use them better, no matter what calling I have down the road and what section, or even entire book, I use while in that future calling. Other than that satellite broadcast that stake presidents saw on how to use Book 1 in 2006, this is the first more available training about the use of the Church Handbook of Instructions or its precursors that we have ever had on even a general level. This will be seen as an important event in the history of the Church going forward. I understand by the way, that President Hinckley became the oldest man ever to serve as President of the Church the day he taped his segment for that earlier training on the handbooks. (Source: Church News).

Speaking of the above discussion on using the handbooks, I am one that regularly would refer to the handbook during those leadership meetings that I was in, often just so I would know where the presiding leader or whoever was leading the discussion in the meeting was coming from, or to better understand what it was we were talking about. My opinion is that they are straightforward on almost everything, it's just the situations that come up from time to time that have us wondering about this or that on occasion and in those cases prayer and inspiration given to the leader would solve the rest. I regularly used them in those meetings, always with positive outcomes as to what we should do.

Yup. I just got a similar email chain - from "Seventy" sent yesterday, to Area Rep, to all the stake presidents, to me.

Odd thing, I had just gotten off the phone confirming with the "Priesthood Department" at CHQ that recording was prohibited. I guess it will take some time for the news to filter out ....

A clear case of Matthew 6:3. [grin]

The STS How to View instructions on the Satellite program schedule wiki page have now been updated to reflect that recordings are indeed permitted.

The updated notice also mentions that "Internet audio and video archives" will be available on broadcast.lds.org "Beginning Tuesday, November 16, 2010 as languages become available."

Thanks Alan

Our Stake President was wondering if it would be ok to schedule it for Friday because Saturday meetings are not attended as well as Friday meetings. That be said the letter says specifically Saturday but it has Friday broadcast schedule on it.

The viewing time is entirely up to the local leadership.

You talked about viewing at a later time but what about having those invited come on Friday as Saturday attendance is not as good.

There are viewing times specified starting at noon MST on Friday, then every three hours after that until 9:00pm MST on Saturday. The stake president may select any of those times (or he could even record it and pick a different time, but I'd want to be very sure that the recording worked).

So any of those Friday viewing times are indeed an option.

An extra benefit for those in North America. The reason for the earlier start times is so that the broadcast will be available Saturday morning in parts of the world where most of North America is still asleep.

But, as Alan said, the stake president may choose to use any of the broadcasts.

This is a misprint. The First Presidency has requested that this broadcast not be posted to the Internet at this time. It will be streamed via Internet but only through a special URL that is only made available to priesthood leaders through the GSD. At some point in the future archives may be posted, but that is not planned at this time.

Well, all I can say is that the communication about the broadcast details have been unusually confusing. That's too bad. There is really no reason to have "misprints" stick around in this digital age. If there is new accurate information, then make sure it gets posted to everywhere that the incorrect information is posted. There are versions of this information on:

1. The LDSTech wiki under Satellite program schedule;
2. The lds.org Calendar;
3. The Official Communications Library.

It really shouldn't be difficult to make sure that all three sources agree regarding whether or not the broadcast can be recorded, and whether or not Internet archives will be available. Although I appreciate a forum post here, it will only reach a tiny fraction of those who need to know the accurate information.
