LDS Church develops new outreach websites
From Deseret News "Mormon Times", National Edition (a supplement to the Ensign Feb 2014)
In November and December [2013], the church began to release enhanced gospel topics pages on LDS.org about "Race and the Priesthood", "First Vision Accounts" and more.
The enhanced pages added rigorous historical background from the church historians, and for the first time, historians outside the church. The pages also include links to information on other websites, another first for LDS. org.
Those pages are part of a major new effort to improve learning and study in the church, with LDS. org and mobile apps at the hub. The effort began with the release of the new youth curriculum for 2013 and will continue with updated, web-friendlier curriculum for adults and children.
The church also launched several other important websites in 2013 – OvercomingPornography.org, MormonsandGays.org and MormonsandChina.org. It also posted a robust religious freedom topics page and "Support Religious Freedom" Facebook page.
