seminary and institute. The bishop and his counselors encourage:”
1. “All youth of the appropriate age (generally 14-18) to participate in
seminary.
2. All single postsecondary students to participate in institute. The
bishopric may also encourage married postsecondary students, as
well as young single adults who are not students, to participate in
institute as their needs and interests may be served (see 11.2.2)”
(See Handbook I: Stake Presidents and Bishops; 11.1.4) —2010).
