On Friday, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced updates and new sections to the General Handbook for leaders and members of the church.
The updates emphasize the work of salvation and exaltation, as well as principles of flexibility, agency and personal revelation, according to a church statement.
Three new sections refer to the church teachings on prejudice, dress and appearance, and seeking information from reliable sources.
Six more chapters have been rewritten, and sections of 11 other chapters were added or revised. The text is available to the public in English online and in the Gospel Library app. Versions in other languages will follow in coming months.
