The Education Advisory Task Force met in the Los Angeles, California, area on Saturday evening, June 24, and Sunday, June 25, for a discussion about the Church's education programs. The task force is made up of elders and members who have experience and background in education and several of our current education programs (see list of task force members in the June issue, page 4).

The purpose of the meeting was to brainstorm ideas and suggestions for the overall structure of the education area and outcomes for our education programs.

We made considerable progress in formulating recommendations that will be presented to the president and the operation manager of Ministerial Services. After review and editing, recommendations will be brought forward in a proposal to the Council of Elders at their August meeting.
