Nelson clearly stated that a bishop’s “first and foremost responsibility” is to care for the youth in the ward. But what about everything else in the ward? The Church News spoke with Church leaders who broke down what these organizational changes mean for not only the bishop but for Relief Society and elders quorum presidencies, Young Women presidents, and Aaronic Priesthood quorum advisers. Ultimately the change should affect all members of the Church, as it relies heavily on the bishop trusting ministering brothers and sisters to help take care of ward members and allow him to make the youth his top priority in his stewardship.

However, I still wanted to share the lessons I’ve learned, because I think they’re valuable and I was grateful for the exercise.
