Bishoprics and Branch Presidencies...
This is not a major matter, but if we're constantly trying to improve...well, I believe this is worthy of your consideration.
I personally don't think we have any appreciation how much members like to see the bishop sitting on the stand when they attend sacrament meeting. It gives them a measure of assurance that the ward is being watched over. It doesn't mean the bishop can't take vacations or travel, but members appreciate a bishop who goes the extra mile to be on the stand as often as possible.
One of the drawbacks of a virtual meeting is that you can go through an entire sacrament meeting and viewers never see the bishop...even though he's seated on the stand the entire time.
Most of you have webcams with wide-angle lens that show people seated on the stand, more than just the speaker at the pulpit. If so, please consider positioning the bishop or branch president so he can be seen on the stand—especially when he's not on the program.
Like I said, this is not a major issue. In fact, it's not an issue at all when we're holding only in-person meetings. But for now, while webcasting our sacrament meetings, please give this your consideration.
Gratefully,
President Lewis
