What do Mormon Women get? If youre not inclined to watch, heres a quick summary: Sheri Dew says that it seems easy to draw the conclusion that because women are not ordained to the priesthood that somehow weve been given less. But here are just a few things women in the Church get: We pray in public meetings. We speak. We expound scripture. We teach the doctrine. We lead organizations for all the women and young women and children of the Church. We teach the gospel on missions. In the temple, women participate in ordinances of a priesthood character. Women receive revelation, gain testimonies, and stand in equality with men before the Lord in matters pertaining to godliness and holiness. We have the gift and power of the Holy Ghost. We receive an endowment of knowledge and power. We have spiritual gifts, including charity, spiritual intuition, and moral courage. We receive all the blessings of the atonement. Women are at the very center of the plan of salvation; every person comes to earth through the courage and strength of a woman. We get everything. She concludes, Does it sound like the Church is holding me back? And that’s just scratching the surface.
