Whereas, Various methods (Temple School classes, Listening Circles) have been tried to facilitate the continuing conversations; and

Whereas, The civil and other human rights of homosexual persons are being advanced at an accelerating rate in many of the world’s nations; and

Resolved, That the First Presidency be requested to provide the Church an annual update on the progress and results of their consultations, using the Herald, the church Web site, and other appropriate World Church communications.
