To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
You may be familiar with the missionary story of Elizabeth McCune. You can read about it here. Shortly after, sister missionaries began to be considered in the mission field starting officially with Jenny Brimhall and Inez Knight. Matthew McBride shared his thoughts on sisters in the mission field. There weren’t many of course. In the […]
There was an interesting discussion, at the Church History Symposium, about women and the priesthood. It is well known that in the beginnings of the Restored Church, women used the priesthood to bless one another, wash and anoint one another, and use gifts of the Spirit freely. The records prove that this was common […]
I was invited to come and listen to presenters speaking at the 2016 Church History Symposium, going on today and tomorrow. This year, the focus is on Mormon women.

So many women are doing good things today. We should all keep our eyes and ears open to extend ourselves and share our unity in faith. Some bright young women, at Brigham Young University, have developed a film about strong Mormon women. You may be interested in watching this 30 minute video at their website […]
