About a month ago, I sent out an e-mail to all the first counselors in the Oakton Stake bishoprics. My goal was to find out what is already being done in the area of public affairs so that we could assess where we are as a stake in relation to our stake presidency's public affairs goals. (See above)
I heard from two counselors and both of them said they didn't think anything was being done in their wards. This led me to the conclusion that we haven't defined "public affairs" very well. I think the easiest description is: when your ward is doing anything in or for the community, it is a public affair.
I hope this blog will give you an idea of what kinds of things can be considered public affairs. If your ward performs acts of service for your community, that is a public affair!
The last thing we want to do is create more work for church members. We are busy people! We just want to highlight some of the good we're already doing to dispel some of the myths about who we are.
Thanks for taking the time to visit this blog!
