Complete list of standard stake and ward callings

#1

Post by jms238 »

Is there a place where I can find a condensed complete list of all available standard callings at both ward and stake levels? The chart of callings in Handbook 2 is close, but doesn't quite break out everything available. Search the forum already and am coming up empty.

One of the problems with defining a 'complete' list is it varies depending on information about your ward/branch. For example wards in US/Canada have scouting callings, but those in other countries don't. Branches within stakes have High Priest groups, but those under districts don't.

Is there a current 2019 List with ministering assignments? And a 2020 List without Scouting callings?

We probably won't see the current callings list without the scouting callings until the changes are implemented.
The Ministering Assignments report is visible to those who have access to the Ministering tab of Leader and Clerk Resources.

There isn't a "2019 list" or a "2020 list." The list of standard positions is drawn from a database and is updated any time we get instructions to do so. As jonesrk pointed out, the idea of creating a "complete list" is also difficult since there are differences based on the region and type of unit.

At some point near the beginning of 2020, we will implement the Scouting changes and those callings will no longer be available.

It would also be helpful to have the standard or suggested time frame listed with each calling. (For example, bishop's are generally in for 5 years in our area. Is that the usual worldwide?)

I think in most cases, there is no standard or suggested time frame. I have seen bishops serve for just a couple of years (usually due to extenuating circumstances). Many moons ago, I was called to replace a branch president who had served for 9 years. Later I was called to replace a bishop who had decided he had served long enough - it was very difficult when I moved into a ward and was immediately called as the new bishop with 1/2 the ward leadership callings unfilled because the outgoing bishop decided he would just let the next bishop sort it out. The Lord knows the standard or suggested time frame for every situation - He will provide the inspiration needed when it is needed. I think that anytime we start thinking mortal time frames, we miss the point.
