Salt Lake Tribune columnist Gordon Monson writes to the men of the church about women's roles in the faith.
Men in The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square sing at General Conference in April 2024. Tribune columnist Gordon Monson has some advice for Latter-day Saint men regarding women's roles in the faith.
In a general sense, and indeed we’re talking in generalities here, we are really dumb in this regard. It has been said that the world would be a better place, in big things and small, if women had more control — not over it, just in it. More than a few Latter-day Saint women are seeking now — and have sought for a long time — to be better listened to, better heard, better empowered. They — most of them, it seems — are not trying to take complete control of the church, its organizations, its operations, its doctrines, its practices, its policies, its everything.Not made to feel equal, but be equal.
I had a conversation with a fellow priesthood holder recently, a leader in his congregation, who said he thought the church was listening too much, that in propping up modern Latter-day Saint women, it was weakening us, emasculating us, deemphasizing our priesthood.
