Straight from the first presidency. They’ve been hard at work racking their revelatory powers for this one.

To commemorate the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will conduct only sacrament meetings in wards and branches on Easter Sunday, April 9, with worship services — including messages and music — to center on the Savior.
That directive came in a First Presidency letter — signed by President Russell M. Nelson and his counselors, President Dallin H. Oaks and President Henry B. Eyring — sent Wednesday, Feb. 15, to Church leaders worldwide.
I’m saddened that “Praise to the Man” will no longer be sung on Easter Sunday in 3rd hour priesthood session. This really isn’t your grandfather’s LDS church anymore.

I suppose the real question is why a special announcement and effort is needed to make Sacrament Meeting centred in Christ, shouldn’t that be a given week in, week out?

As DCP notes, most Easter Sundays in Mormonism were indistinguishable from any other Sunday. Unless your bishop got some wild hair and decided to depart from that norm.

And how many millions are gonna feel the burning in the bosom that this new and unique revelation from Jesus gave the prophet?
Wow Mormonism is making great strides these days...

Ahhh, yes, but that was
Mormonism.
Now that it's "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints"-ism, things are different - no wild hair required

I am tired of the LDS Church’s desperate attempts to be considered Christian.

I don't know how anyone could read this and have any doubts that Russell M. Nelson is in direct communication with the Savior.
First, the revelation prohibiting children of gay parents from baptism. Then the revelation reversing the first revelation. Then, the revelation that the term Mormon should not be used.
Take your vitamins folks, who knows what's next........Maybe another revelation reversing the revelation prohibiting the use of the term Mormon?

I think the financial push is a result of their failure to gain acceptance among the Christian community. Perhaps financial strength will finally give them a place at the table?

And if they won't get invited to sit with 'em all, they will be able to just buy Christianity... they can't convert the world? No problem, we'll buy it... "you can buy
anything in this world for money."
