A wonderful
aspect of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is that it
changes. Each General Conference is
exciting, since we have no idea what will be announced. Maybe some new temples,
or how about a change in missionary age. It’s great! Each Sunday we observe the
Priests blessing the Sacrament and may think this is the way it has always
been. Hardly. There was a time in the Church when the way the Sacrament was
administered could differ from ward to ward. So, if the Priests didn’t always
bless the sacrament in the 1850’s and into the 1870’s, then who did?
a.
The
bishopric
b.
The Teachers
c.
The
bishopric and Acting Teachers
d.
The High Priests

Indians and feasted on it as it is Christmas day.
