Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting February 9, 2008
The Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting on February 9, 2008 will be broadcast over the Church satellite system to meetinghouses around the world. See the online broadcast schedule.
On LDS.org: Audio, video, and text files will be placed online a week or so after the broadcast.
A booklet will be prepared with the proceedings and will be sent to subscribers of the Ensign and Liahona magazines in the following languages: Cambodian, Cebuano, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Samoan, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, Thai, Tongan, and Ukranian. Ensign subscribers will receive the booklet with their June magazine; mailings with the Liahona will depend on the time it takes for translation and may be sent at a later date. Following the mailings, the booklet will also be available in Church distribution centers.
A DVD will also be prepared of the broadcast in English with voice-over in the following languages: Cantonese, Cebuano, French, German, talian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Samoan, Spanish, Tagalog, Tahitian, and Tongan. The DVD will be ready by April.
One booklet and one DVD will be automatically sent to all stakes, districts, wards, and branches that speak the languages that the products will be available in. One booklet will be sent in the language of the unit, and a DVD will be sent to those units speaking one of the 16 languages.
This is great news, as there wasn’t a DVD sent last year (or did we miss out?).
I see that booklets of the 2006 training on “Supporting the Family” is still available from http://www.ldscatalog.com, but am I right in thinking that 2007’s “Teaching and Learning” was only published in the June 2007 Ensign?
President Packer made a comment about “common sticks” during the leadership training this morning. A story from his writings gives great meaning to that comment. It might be added as a footnote in the forthcoming booklet.
The above story is found in Alma P. Burton, Karl G. Maeser, Mormon Educator, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1953, p. 22; as quoted by Boyd K. Packer, in “From Such Turn Away,” Ensign, May 1985, p.33; see also Boyd K. Packer, “Follow the Brethren,” Speeches of the Year, BYU, 23 March 1965, p. 1–10; as reprinted in Tambuli, Sept. 1979, p.53; and Boyd K. Packer, “The Spirit Beareth Record,” Ensign, June 1971, p.87.
The text from last year’s Worldwide Leadership Training meeting was printed in the Ensign and Liahona, but not published as a separate booklet. No DVD was issued. All the text, audio, and video is available online in the Gospel Library > Additional Addresses.
Does anyone know how I can view the training on my computer? I was home with Strep and missed it. Can’t seem to find a way to view it and not very saavy with the puter. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Within 2-3 weeks, we will have the audio and video files on the Web so you can watch it.
