The March 2026 update to the Church’s “General Handbook,” prepared under the direction of the First Presidency, includes several adjustments.
A few of them are:
Revised language emphasizing ordinances and covenants as central in God’s work of salvation and exaltation (chapter 1)
Updated information about calling ward Sunday School presidencies that are all men or all women (13.2.2.1)
A new section about caring for the earth (38.8.6)
These updates are online and will appear in the Gospel Library app in the next 24 to 48 hours.
