Overview

• The church scheduled a worldwide announcement for 1 p.m. MDT from Temple Square in Salt Lake City.
• The broadcast will stream on the church’s website, YouTube and official social media channels.
• Leaders have not named the new prophet, though multiple outlets report that senior apostle Dallin H. Oaks, 93, is anticipated.
• Under the church’s succession practice, the most senior apostle becomes president after being sustained by the Quorum of the Twelve.
• After the president is named, he will select counselors, be set apart, and a new apostle will be called to fill the vacancy.
