Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints issued the following announcement.
2020 Year in Review
21 December 2020
Although words such as “quarantine,” “closed,” “canceled,” “paused,” and “postponed” have peppered global conversations this year, 2020 has been anything but a slow time for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The novel coronavirus disrupted and altered life in countless ways. But much of what is essential to the Church continued uninterrupted.
The Church’s humanitarian efforts grew in unprecedented ways. The faith’s response to the pandemic became the largest humanitarian project in Church history. Weekly worship in chapels came to a temporary halt in March, but the faith’s culture of home-centered gospel study helped Latter-day Saints adapt to worship and scripture study from home. Most missionaries were called back to their home countries or asked to spend more time in isolation, but missionaries continue to share messages of Jesus Christ online. Temples closed for a few months before a cautious and careful phased reopening began in May. In-person gatherings for general conferences and other large meetings were cancelled, but messages of Church leaders continued to reach a global membership thanks to the blessing of technology.
