We’re changing the name of this page (finally).
We’re changing the name of this page (finally). As you may know, it was originally named for a section of the Deseret News, which was called Mormon Times. Following President Russell M. Nelson’s renewed call to avoid using the word Mormon to describe the church and its members, we changed the name of the print publication. Many of you have asked whether we would also change the name of this page. The answer is yes and the new name of this page is “Of Good Report.” We will continue to share coverage of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from the Deseret News, the Church News and other sources. If it’s of good report, you’ll find it on this page.
