“In His great intercessory prayer, the Savior prayed that those who believe in Him might be one, even as He and His Father are one (see John 17:20–23). Unity is essential for success in every organization of the Church. Priesthood and auxiliary presidents should not work independently of their counselors. Presidencies can accomplish much more when they are unified and counsel together” (Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders’ Guidebook, 18).

A presidency will be more united if they understand and agree upon their responsibilities. Review the responsibilities as outlined in the Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 2, pages 218 and 219, “Responsibilities of Class Officers.”

Questions to consider:

• How can differences of opinion be helpful?
• How will you, as a presidency, resolve differences?
• After a decision is reached, what is the responsibility of each member of the presidency?
