Ministering - What Has and Hasn't Changed

I have now gotten to the talk in which President Nelson announces the change from Home and Visiting Teaching to "Ministering." In practicality, I'm not sure how much has changed. There's less of an emphasis on visiting homes now, and it was made clear that more actions count as Ministering than have counted as Home or Visiting Teaching. In fact, perhaps considering the actions one does is the wrong way to look at Ministering. Ministering seems to be more about caring for people than about what we do to show that we care for them. As I'm sure the next few talks will explain, Ministering can take any number of forms, whereas Home and Visiting Teaching consisted almost entirely of making monthly visits. However, the heart of the practice hasn't changed, even though the name has. It has always ultimately been about love and support. Sure, anyone who visited their charges every month could report 100% Home or Visiting Teaching, but they couldn't legitimately claim to be good Home or Visiting Teachers unless they cared about their Home or Visiting Teaching families. With Ministering, the emphasis is more clearly on lending support. It's self-evident that, in order to be a good Ministering Brother or Sister, one has to minister to their brothers, sisters, and/or families. In purpose, the two systems are perfectly identical, despite how different they may be in name and practice.
