Send us a textIn The Church of Jesus Christ, there is a law known as common consent.  Every single member has the opportunity to sustain or object to an official calling that has been extended to an individual by those in authority whether it is on the ward level, stake level, or general level.  What does it really mean to sustain a calling for you?  What are you saying when you raise your right hand in agreement with the extended calling?  Are you making a covenant?  Are you saying you will support, uphold, and follow that individual as he or she follows the promptings of the spirit in fulfilling that call?Do you really have an opportunity to object to the calling?  Yes you do.  Does that mean it will be overturned?  Not necessarily, but you can object.  Normally an objection would come down to a worthiness issues.  Has the individual that is being sustained been involved in an action of sin that has not been fully repented of that you know about that others may not.  Most importantly that the Bishop or Stake President does not know about.  That would truly be the only time to not sustain an individual in that calling.  Join us as we discuss what it means to sustain and what the law of common consent means for you.Support the showThanks for listening!
