Like when the church was first formed. And there was never ever any kind of official policy that women couldn't hold the sacrament tray. This all came from well-meaning but misguided attempts to be even more righteous. Reminds me a bit of taking only a certain number of steps on the Sabbath...<br /><br />This is why we have a living prophet and why we need general conference/continued revelation. If it were up to us, we'd screw it up rather quickly.Dirtius Wifiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869916046022603915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287247899358868180.post-1546537563414502142013-01-25T21:20:04.685-08:002013-01-25T21:20:04.685-08:00In many ways the church was radically feminist for...In many ways the church was radically feminist for its time. The idea of women being included in temple ceremonies was quite radical at the time and the church was pro-women's suffrage well before it was a popular idea. Brigham Young sent one of his wives back east to become a doctor at a time when that was practically unheard of. The church has always encouraged women to get an education and has elevated and honored the role of mothers in a society where being a mother has very little honor. We are moving along on these issues like praying in conference but in many ways the church is doing just great i.m.h.o.Abigaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751133760431425167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287247899358868180.post-79382435936509129422013-01-17T15:15:23.857-08:002013-01-17T15:15:23.857-08:00Conversely, in the early church, women regularly m...Conversely, in the early church, women regularly met together for their own prayer meetings, and laid healing hands upon one another, prayed over the sick and afflicted, etc... so there's a middle period of church history where the people of the church allowed their attitudes to follow the world's attitudes on women. We have a way to go before we all figure out what living like disciples fully entails, but forward progress is forward progress (or perhaps a return to the practices of the early Restored church in some areas?).<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287247899358868180.post-16313950745899723962013-01-14T14:23:16.718-08:002013-01-14T14:23:16.718-08:00Quentin Cook has a rather... generous definition o...Quentin Cook has a rather... generous definition of "our earliest history" doesn't he?<br /><br />Women have only been praying in public meetings of any kind since the 80s, and in the earliest days of the church, women couldn't even hold the sacrament tray to pass to other members during sacrament services. It's funny how colorfully people rewrite their own history.Trenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150040232890743925noreply@blogger.com
