Author’s Note: For those not familiar with my religion, once every six months our church has its semi-annual general conference. This conference is broadcast by satellite and internet around the world, and church members forego meeting in their usual congregations in order to tune into five 2-hour sessions of church leaders speaking kindly from behind a pulpit, and singing by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
Last night I had a dream about General Conference. I dreamed that they had decided to make Conference a lot more ‘accessible’ and ‘relevant’ to children. They did this by making it a lot less of a stable camera pointing at the podium. In fact, most of it wasn’t filmed at the Conference Center at all.
