The deadline for mission centers to submit legislation for consideration at the 2025 World Conference is less than a year away.
Submissions should address significant issues that would concern the entire church and propose actions that are clear, readily implementable, and directly address concerns raised.
Background on Timeline
Submitting resolutions early in the inter-Conference period will provide ample time for translation, collaborative review by church leaders and mission centers, and thorough church-wide discernment.
World Conference Resolution 1308 “Time for Introduction of New Business,” adopted in June 2016, states:
Resolved, That for legislation to come before World Conference, such legislation must be submitted to the First Presidency no later than one year before the opening of each World Conference.
