The ONLY 4 Times Senior Mormon Leaders Took Unscripted Questions from the Press since 2012

For more than a decade, senior leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have rarely taken unscripted questions from journalists in public. Most media appearances are carefully managed, making these four events remarkable exceptions.In this episode, we revisit the only four major occasions over the past 15 years when top Mormon leaders answered questions without prepared remarks:• Jeffrey R. Holland's BBC interview in London (2012)• Dallin H. Oaks' University of Virginia Q&A (2016)• Russell M. Nelson's First Presidency press conference (2018)• David A. Bednar's National Press Club appearance in Washington, D.C. (2022)Rather than offering extensive commentary, this video presents these appearances in a mostly unedited format so you can watch the exchanges for yourself. Topics include LDS temple practices, LGBTQ issues, Church finances, religious freedom, women in the Church, media relations, and more.How do senior Mormon leaders respond when they can't rely on prepared conference talks or carefully edited videos? Watch the interviews and decide for yourself.If you enjoy thoughtful discussions about Mormon history, current events, and LDS culture, consider subscribing for more episodes.#Mormon #LDS #ExMormon #MormonNews #JeffreyHolland #DallinOaks #RussellMNelson #DavidBednar #MormonChurch #Religion #ChurchNews #LDSChurchPlease consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: [email protected] Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.
