If a female tried to get into the priesthood session of GC...

Pretty cool. Next step might be to let some women on the BOD at BYU. Could use their soft and sensitive touch when it comes to decision making.

I believe two of the women mentioned in the article are also on the BYU Board of Trustees.

Love this quote from the article:

"This is yet another important step forward in the restoration of the gospel," said Sheri Dew

Wait a minute...I thought the gospel was already restored all the way. Does this mean there could be more coming?

Of course, we have to take into account that Sheri isn't a prophet, seer, or revelator. So that could be just, like, her opinion, man.

Maybe she meant to say "the full" restoration...................

This historic change is just the general leadership councils, right? Or does it affect the local PECs as well?

Any local PEC I have served on has had at least the RS President attending for 10 years. Would be good to make it official policy.

I think she means that this step restores things back to how it went down in the primitive church, when all-female leadership councils helped the men run things.

Good post. I think it was Emma that had the revelation for the WOW.

Joseph had the revelation, Emma had to cook and clean

OK. It was one heck of a long time ago I had the lesson on the WOW. I think I was 12 or 13.

Just listening to the recap on KSL radio. Sheesh. Sherrie Drew should shut her yapper at times like this. She does more damage than good.

This change doesn't sound like much, but I'm hopeful there will be more in the future.

Those that say Kate Kelly doesn't do any good are wrong. I judge women on their sexual attractiveness, not their message, so I am not a big Kate Kelly fan. But you have to admit she's had some influence.

The church moves the right direction on social issues. Unfortunately, it moves very slowly and sometimes only when forced to legally or financially or when the negative ramifications of their backwards practices become so painful they're essentially forced. Unfortunately the church needs the Kate Kelly's and John Dehlin's of the world. With them, other good but chickenshit progressive leaders can step up and encourage change, and be considered moderate voices. Without the boogeymen like Kelly and Delhin, the good but chickenshit guys can't even open their mouth or they become the boogeymen.
