Envisioning Change in the Mormon Church

Ordain Women's New Campaign Imagines A Future Where Women Can Give Blessings.

Ordain Women is the Mormon group advocating the Ordination of Mormon women to the Priesthood. They've produced a very moving series of photos designed to envision a future when women can extend the traditional Mormon blessings on other Mormons.  Please take a look.

From Huffington Post: Only men are allowed to become priests within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. That means men are the only ones allowed to confer formal blessings on other Mormons, offering them healing, comfort, and encouragement.

“It’s so engrained in women that leadership and rituals are for men only,” Kelly told HuffPost. “Part of creating these images is to help women realize you don’t have to be a man to be in these roles.” continue

We fully support or Mormon sisters and brother as they seek greater justice within their religious traditions.
