During the recent General Conference, Latter-day Saint leaders announced a significant pause in new temple construction, the first since the passing of President Russell M. Nelson. President Dallin H. Oaks addressed the church, emphasizing themes of forgiveness and community, while apostles will lead until a new First Presidency is established. The conference marked a historic moment as it was held without a president for the first time in at least a century. Sessions included uplifting messages on healing, service, and the importance of family, alongside increased security measures in response to recent church-related violence. No new temples were announced, and leaders are encouraging a slow-down in future announcements to reflect on the current state of the church and its members.
