 Council of Twelve updates The World Church Leadership Council has reorganized the Council of Twelve into two teams to meet the evolving needs of the worldwide church. Since October 9, 2025, Apostle Catherine Mambwe has led Team A, which includes fields 1, 2, and 3. Team B brings together fields 4 and 5 under the leadership of Apostle Lach Mackay, grouping Canada, the USA, Australia, and Western Europe as areas of contextual overlap. Additional updates include:
Policy updates: Priesthood and Personal Relationships New policies on Priesthood and Personal Relationships have been implemented in Canada, the USA, and the British Isles Mission Centre.
