      <description><![CDATA[<p>I recently made a small <a href="https://bencrowder.net/ministering-changes-scratchpad/">ministering changes scratchpad</a> web app to help with drafting proposed changes to companionships. It has already proved useful to me, so I figured I’d release it in case someone else finds it handy. (Note that this app is not intended in any way to replace the ministering part of LCR; it’s just a quick way to see what changes would look like, before entering them into LCR.)</p>

      </figure></p>
<p>It’s just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and can be run locally, no server required. (I’m also hosting a <a href="https://bencrowder.net/sandbox/ministering-changes-scratchpad/">demo instance</a> and you’re welcome to use it there. The <a href="https://bencrowder.net/ministering-changes-scratchpad/">project page</a> has some basic usage instructions.)</p>
<p>If you print the changes to PDF, you get a file that looks like this:</p>

      </figure></p>
<p>And if you don’t know what this ministering thing is, no problem! The Church’s <a href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/ministering/what-is-ministering?lang=eng">“What is ministering?” page</a> is a good introduction for the curious.</p><hr class="feed-extra" style="margin-top: 48pt;" /><p class="feed-extra feed-mail"><a href="mailto:ben.crowder@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20Ministering changes scratchpad">Reply via email</a></p>]]></description>
