The other half of conference you may have missed

The word “religion” invokes for many images of clergy, formal ritual and houses of worship. For instance, this weekend’s recent semiannual conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is assumed to be encapsulated by 33 speakers, several choirs and glimpses of the 21,000 people participating in the faith’s Conference Center.
What’s missing from this conference portrayal is the people on the other side of the screen — recipients of these messages in literally millions of homes across the earth. The visuals below from this weekend provided by the church capture at least a glimpse of what that “other half” of the faith’s general conference is like.
