Editing Priesthood Correlation Program (section)

== Results and curriculum ==
Because of the correlation program, the church generally operates the same in structure, practice, and doctrine globally. For example, members in [[Germany]], [[Kenya]], and [[Utah]] all generally study the same lessons and attend the same type of meetings in any given week. According to [[Carlos E. Asay]], who served as an executive director of the Church Curriculum Department, employees use planning charts to ensure that important gospel topics are properly covered and taught at regular intervals.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Asay|first1=Carlos|title="For the Perfecting of the Saints": A Look at Church Curriculum|url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/1986/01/for-the-perfecting-of-the-saints-a-look-at-church-curriculum?lang=eng|access-date=21 November 2015}}</ref>

Currently, there are two curriculum tracks for members: one for areas where the church is fully established in wards and stakes, and another for areas where the church is growing and smaller in number. The doctrines taught are the same; however, the emphasis on principles, church structure, and church culture is more emphasized in fledgling areas, while emphasis in established areas focuses more on the application of the principles taught.
