For the next several days I will be posting about the World Congress of Families. This year it is being held in Sydney, Australia.  Remember how we helped to raise funds for Angela to attend? She is sending daily reports of the presentations, interviews she is able to have, and more. I am excited to share with you what she is experiencing. There are so many around the world - politicians, religious leaders, community organizers, trained professionals, and others - who are dedicated to defending the family. I will try to post each day's events in order so you are not reading them backwards as you scroll down. I have broken up Angela's summaries into several posts so it isn't overwhelming to see a HUGE post. Remember, if you have any questions you would like her to ask when she gives her interviews, leave them in the comments and I will pass them along to her.

Relief Society History Resources


We learn from the past. We gain insights and understanding when looking at past experiences others have had and apply the lessons learned to our own circumstances. Did you know there are many resources for learning about the history and women of Relief Society?

Daughters in My Kingdom - free to download as a pdf file, or read it online here. It is full of teachings, stories, and examples from women around the world.

Nauvoo Relief Society Minute Book- see photos of the pages and read what took place at the first meetings of Relief Society.

History Timeline of Relief Society - a quick overview of events in Relief Society history.

Women's Exponent - newspaper published by Relief Society from 1872-1914. Fascinating reading on not only spiritual topic but practical housekeeping tips for that time period.

Representative Women of Deseret - click on the photos of women in the poster to be taken to biography of their lives.




The Relief Society Magazine - published from 1914 - 1970

Relief Society Episodes on the Mormon Channel -  The Q&A episodes are my particular favorite as Sister Julie B. Beck answers questions from Relief Society sisters around the world. There are also episodes to help with each month's visiting teaching message and about Daughters in my Kingdom {linked above}


Relief Society General Presidents - links to biographies of all 15 amazing general presidents in Relief Society history.

  1. Thanks for the links - made a new folder in my bookmarks to explore later. Fascinating and inspiring content. Just listened to the new Q & A with Sister Beck last night about charity. Highly recommend it to anyone.

  2. Hey thanks! I didn't have the Exponent link on my R.S. Notebook page.

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. ☺ There, don't you feel better?

Please leave a comment! I enjoy hearing your thoughts, whether you agree with me or not. If we all agreed on everything how boring would that be? Worse than eating white chocolate, because it's fake. So be real, be yourself.
