For the first time, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Thursday used the leadership session of a general conference to announce new Area Seventies.
Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles read the names of 77 new Area Seventies at the start of the leadership session of the 191st Annual General Conference at the Church Office Building in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The new leaders represent 25 countries worldwide. President Russell M. Nelson led a sustaining vote during the meeting.
Previously, calling and sustaining Area Seventies took place on the Saturday of general conference weekend, although the new Area Seventies also will be sustained as a group during the conference, according to a church statement.
