New way to do temple recommends for living ordinances

[mevans]

Apparently the church is changing how temple recommends are done for living ordinances. Our bishop doesn't know what to do, and neither does the temple, and our child is stuck in the middle of this. Is the new process documented somewhere that's not top secret? I'm an assistant clerk and am able to see there's a link in LCR to "Start a New Endowment, Sealing, or Marriage," but I get Access Denied if I try it. Maybe I need to get the bishop to sign in and see if we can figure it out. I'm wondering if anyone out there has been through the new system, or if it's even functioning yet?

A long shot, but have you tried using Incognito mode? Otherwise, I'd call support before they close for the weekend.

I am in icognito mode...it's just habit now to try to make things work on the church site. I suspect I don't have permissions; maybe a full ward clerk does, or maybe it's a bishop-only thing.

I was at the temple yesterday and thought to inquire about this. It sounds like it's a program rolled out by temple district. Apparently it went live for us earlier this week. I guess our child had perfect timing to be caught in between the notification of the transition and the new system being available. I guess when going in for an interview, the bishop didn't yet have any way to issue a living ordinance recommend, but maybe he does as of a few days ago. We'll see how the new system works. There's no more paper for a living ordinance; it's all on the computer.
