I believe many policies get started as good ideas and then grow from there.
I agree, and although Pres Uchtdorf may have been referring to other sources…his quote applies to many policies and “good ideas” inside the church, I think.
there are so many “shoulds” and “should nots” that merely keeping track of them can be a challenge. Sometimes, well-meaning amplifications of divine principles—many coming from uninspired sources—complicate matters further, diluting the purity of divine truth with man-made addenda. One person’s good idea—something that may work for him or her—takes root and becomes an expectation. And gradually, eternal principles can get lost within the labyrinth of “good ideas.”-Pres Uchtdorf
(did I get to the point for you, Roy??)
