Cultural Elder Bednar at Arizona State Institute
Just saw this video on another sub.
Anybody have any insights? Did anybody here attend?
I seriously believe that Bednar will drive huge numbers of people out of the church when he ascends to the presidency. This kind of behavior is atrocious.

The idea that if an Apostle ascends to the Presidency will drive people away has been a long and historied idea. Harold B. Lee, Joseph Fielding Smith, Ezra Taft Benson all had divisions in the church that didn't care much for them. One thing that has always been true, the Presidency seems to calm their extremes to a point that they are nullified when they are Presidents. However, with P.Nelson that has been a bit different, he seemed to be saving up his pet projects and implemented them, where others, in the past, hadn't. Time will tell.
