LDS church upgrades website for central faith | Business

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Mormon church officials are launching a major upgrade to the faith's website.

The upgrade to the site for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is launching to all users next week after three months of beta tests.

Website director Lee Gibbons says the new site's design is meant to be more warm and inviting, and include many images, videos and articles.

One new feature includes the ability for users to highlight and take notes on scriptures and other study materials.

The site also gives church leaders access to calendars, handbooks and other administrative tools.
