Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will meet Saturday — in person and remotely live through global broadcasts — for the faith’s 188th Semiannual General Conference.
The twice-yearly gathering follows the announcement Friday that the Utah-based faith’s Mormon Tabernacle Choir has been renamed as “The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Scare.” The move comes after instruction by LDS Church President Russell M. Nelson to move away from common nicknames like “Mormon" and the acronym “LDS” in favor of the church’s formal title.
The conference will include three two-hour sessions on Saturday and two two-hour sessions on Sunday in the faith’s Conference Center in downtown Salt Lake City.
