Tonight’s Mormon Newscast opens with a heavy story making waves across the ex-Mormon and Mormon-watching world: the arrest of Apostle D. Todd Christofferson’s brother on federal child-abuse charges. We walk through what’s known, what’s confirmed, and what this means inside a culture where reputational control is everything. We’ll also cover the Church’s recent move to lower the missionary age for young women to 18, raising big questions about recruitment strategy and cultural pressure. From there, we jump the quiet removal of the Saturday night session of General Conference, and we also take a look over the pond in the UK, where a former British bishop just received a 10-year sentence for taking bribes linked to Russian interests. Other stories tonight include the Church opening its first meetinghouse in a predominantly Muslim nation, and two smaller items: a new “Eternity” movie on the rise and the Church experimenting with shorter missions for college football players.
