The Russell Nelson era is focus of ‘Mormon Land’ live tonight at Salt Lake City’s downtown library

To mark the 100th episode of our “Mormon Land” podcast, an expert panel will discuss how a 95-year-old leader is reshaping The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, overhauling prominent policies and sacred ceremonies, loosening some rules while tightening others, even changing how people refer to the religion.

Just Wednesday, he announced a step toward gender equity in the faith, allowing girls and women to act as official witnesses at baptisms and temple sealings.

Tonight’s free event will take place at 7 p.m. in the Nancy Tessman Auditorium of Salt Lake City’s downtown library, 210 E.
