"When we take a vote at the highest level possible . . . if it is not agreed to, by individuals after the vote, then we have a problem. Our whole church holds together by a wonderful aspect of goodwill. Even though we don't agree at times, we say, 'This is our church, the church has voted, and we're going to work with the church.' And that's the reason for the difficulty that we're facing right now" (Elder Ted Wilson, Annual Council 2018).
What is needed? Discipline. Firm and fair discipline. Courage. Decisions based on Godly courage.
