Something is quietly changing inside The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to a new Daily Slate documentary examining five Mormon traditions that are gradually disappearing or being transformed in 2026. The video, which has drawn more than 3,200 views in six hours and 36 comments, explores shifts in Sunday meeting schedules, hymnal replacements, and other evolving practices.
The documentary frames these changes as part of the Church's ongoing adaptation to modern life and declining retention, asking what the disappearance of familiar traditions means for Latter-day Saint identity and community.
