Are non-members of the Mormon Church permitted to preach from the pulpit or teach classes?
Hello Gramps: I absolutely love your web site. Thank you for all your advice and insight! I have two questions actually. My first question is in regards to non-members of the Mormon Church, or investigators rather. Are non-members allowed to give sacrament talks or prayers, or are they permitted to teach/substitute in Sunday classes? Are there any rules in the handbook pertaining to this? My 2nd question is about the youth program. We are in a Branch but we have about10-15 young women (I know wards with a smaller young women organization). Our girls are not meeting more than about 4 times a year for the Young Women’s Program. We do not have any chaperones from our Branch attending dances and Stake events, and personal progress is being overlooked as is “New Beginnings” and “Young Women in Excellence.” I have lived here two years and been concerned the entire time because I take a special interest in the youth, but I was called to the primary presidency and have remained there this whol
