Does Jesus come to Your Sacrament Meeting

In honor of the one year anniversary of my post about whether or not mormons know too much, I figured I would give an update. For those who missed the last post, here is a brief rundown. I postulated that mormons knew too much and tended to loose sight of what matters most. In delving into various gospel topics, they tend to forget about the saving mission of Jesus Christ and can leave him out of their talks entirely. It is shocking, at least to me, that I can sit through talks without a single mention of the Savior until they close their remarks in His name.

I have been keeping track since the last post and kept a running total. Below are the results. It has been somewhat surprising. The averages have never dropped below 3 and only briefly gone above 5 once (That was the Youth and it lasted less than a month). After over 18 months of tracking, it seems like right around 4 is where they will stay.

Youth:
Mentions of Christ in an average talk:
1.00 – Times Christ was mentioned as a Formalities
0.68 – Times Christ was mentioned while quoting from Scripture
0.42 – Times Christ was mentioned while quoting from General Authorities (and other spiritual literature)
0.32– Times Christ was mentioned indirectly
0.37– Times Christ was mentioned in the context of a Testimony
0.63– Times Christ was mention for Other reasons
3.42 – Total mentions of Christ in a talk


Adult:
Mentions of Christ in an average talk:
0.96 – Times Christ was mentioned as a Formalities
0.59 – Times Christ was mentioned while quoting from Scripture
0.56 – Times Christ was mentioned while quoting from General Authorities (and other spiritual literature)
0.39 – Times Christ was mentioned indirectly
0.44 – Times Christ was mentioned in the context of a Testimony
1.06 – Times Christ was mention for Other reasons
4.01 – Total mentions of Christ in a talk.

So, I do not know about your Sacrament Meetings, but these are the results from the Sacrament Meetings I have attended, most were my home ward, but I travel a fair amount on business and kept track in wards I visited as well.
