Officials with the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints authorized a phased return plan to some of the faith’s weekly worship services and activities Tuesday.

In a letter address to general and local leaders around the world, Church officials said worship services and activities can take place only when local government regulations allow it and if approved by local Area Presidencies.

Stake presidents, counseling with bishops, will determine the specific timing for resumption of meetings and activities, Church officials said.

According to Church officials a two-phase approach will be used.
