In 2025, Scripture Central could become a resource for all faithful Latter-day Saints and their friends by simply adopting some New Year's Resolutions:
- educate readers, viewers and listeners about the authentic Church history sources regarding the origin and setting of the Book of Mormon
- accurately compare alternative interpretations of the historical record regarding the origin and setting of the Book of Mormon
- accommodate all faithful Latter-day Saints with clarity, charity, and understanding

We all realize this would be a significant change for Scripture Central.
It would mean Scripture Central's Board would change its editorial policy to embrace clarity, charity and understanding instead of merely advocating the personal beliefs of Jack Welch and his followers.
But imagine how much this new editorial policy would promote unity among Latter-day Saints!
We don't expect it to happen, given the current management of Scripture Central, but we hope that, eventually, the awesome people who work at and contribute to Scripture Central will make the change and join other Latter-day Saints in the pursuit of clarity, charity and understanding.

In 2025, people everywhere prefer clarity over obfuscation, charity over intransigence, and understanding over compulsion. People resent censorship, misdirection, and sophistry.
They want to make informed decisions instead of being told they should defer to experts. They want accurate information, not propaganda.
People are smart. They can figure things out when they are fully informed, open-minded, and attune to the Spirit of God.
