An LDS Church leader addressed gender and priesthood in a Sunday sermon. Four days and nearly 14,000 comments later, LDS women are still talking about it.
What LDS women are saying about priesthood — and how they supposedly have it — after a controversial sermon
J. Anette Dennis, first counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency, speaks during the filming of a worldwide Relief Society devotional in the Relief Society Building in Salt Lake City on Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024. The devotional was broadcast Sunday, March 17, 2024. Her talk is getting pushback.
After a technical issue at Meta, Instagram’s parent company, swallowed thousands of comments, Brown returned to add this: “No, women are not more empowered in our church than in any other. Men are in charge of everything. But…because it is a lay church, we have…opportunities to jump into our callings both to help others in meaningful ways, limited only by our capacities and sensitivities, as well as to gain tremendous skills as we learn to better, more effectively, work in groups and with individuals.
