            So, is this going to take the typical 3-4 years to fix it or will this be an immediate fix? Usually when it’s not really doctrinal the church will make a quick fix and move on. I think this falls in that camp. It’s not like the policy to not baptize kids with parents of the same sex, which the church has to give a little time between the uproar and the change to make it seem like they weren’t responding to public criticism.
            "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

              While the silent majority is going to hate these, I'm predicting there's enough vocal support in favor that these are around for a while. I would love to be wrong.

                I have not seen a single positive response yet (on social media).

                  I guess I'm destined to be a contrarian - I actually like the new names.

                  Everyone is going to to call them by their short names - Builders, Messengers, and Gatherers. These names are much better than the old Beehives, Mia Maids, and Laurels names. And saying "the 12 and 13 year old Young Women class" has always been very awkward.

                  I've complained about various aspects of church policy and culture many times over the years but I've got nothing negative to say about these names.

                    Ruins the old joke about Priests resting on their Laurels.

                      i predicted earlier in this thread that Oaks was going to institute a female version of the priesthood. In that lens this makes sense because they’re identifying specific ministerial functions for each age group.

                        Oh man, I never even got the chance to use that joke. I wish you would have mentioned this when I was 16.

                          I rested on plenty of Laurels when I was that age.
