When he was Stake President in Boston, he had a WOMAN as his executive secretary. Called and set apart. Completely verboten, but he did it anyway.

I've stated before that the first thing I'm doing if I'm ever bishop is calling a woman to be the Sunday School President. There is no reason this is a male only calling other than the fact that it takes no real effort to fulfill."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

Well except when they split the Akron Zone into the Akron and Cleveland Zones and I became the Cleveland ZL. Why is that significant? Cleveland is actually a mission now. My leadership skills have been vastly underutilized since then, except the stint as SS President.Comment

On that note, does the RS pres have to be a woman? It would be wild to call a man to be RS Pres. Probably would piss off the feminists, actually.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

No, but I was the DL in Canton and Wooster was in my District. I didn't switch off with the Elders there too much though because I had to spend most of my time with the two Elders (BYU guys) over in Alliance.Originally posted by Paperback Writer View PostComment

No requirement for a female RS President....although I'd love if the requirement was for someone that doesn't hold the PH.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

I realize no man would ever be called to that position (at least not nowadays - I've stories about it happening in small branches in Europe in the 1950s/60s) but it could happen."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
