In "An evening with Elder Quentin L. Cook" of the Quorum of the Twelve, religious educators of the Church Educational System heard his counsel on the importance of their callings.

From the Salt Lake Tabernacle, he spoke of responsibilities Mormon seminary and institute teachers have in "helping young people make good choices, strengthening their testimonies, helping them see foolishness in its true light, preparing the rising generation for missionary service, and nurturing those who return to make correct choices."

The program was broadcast via satellite in English throughout the world, with a rebroadcast translated into 24 languages. Some of the music for the event was provided by a choir of 25 sister missionaries serving in the Utah Salt Lake City Temple Square Mission.

Elder Cook spoke on two themes based on teaching objectives presented by Elder Harold B. Lee, then of the Quorum of the Twelve, in the 1950s. He added "two other themes that I feel have particular significance today in the light of changes over the last 50 years."
