I truly am curious as to the foundational basis of women feeling it is time for them to hold the Priesthood. I have read many comments that compare this plight to that of the Priesthood being extended to all worthy males. There is a huge fundamental difference there. I would like to have a better understanding of this topic from a gospel standpoint. I don't agree with thoughts of injustice or inequality when I am focusing on the gospel itself . If there is a direction someone can point me in that would be greatly appreciated.

There is something deeply holy about sitting down with another soul and asking, "Tell me your story." Your proximity to your sister provides a chance for real communion which is the key to love, I think. To know someone deeply is to love them. Blessings and prayers.

And many other nasty things, by some of the women that support this. I support the right to have the opinion and express it, but to demean others has no place- on either side. I see Satan trying to tear the women apart and create a division among them and it breaks my heart.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935005320812501222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21712027.post-64329553496712398022013-09-19T10:45:28.956-07:002013-09-19T10:45:28.956-07:00The best post I've seen on the topic.

Both you and Mel (I saw that you commented on her post, and that she quoted you) nailed exactly my own thoughts on the matter. Love is more important than a difference of opinions. Hate is not Christian. It is less Christian than a bikini, a protest at temple square, or what-have-you. Thank you for getting that :) Too much on facebook turns my stomach these days. We mock what we don't understand. How dare we belittle someone else's battle? We can't possibly know their struggle. I love this part from your post: "because they are my sisters, their pains and their concerns, matter to me. This is part of my baptismal covenant."katildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794183122186770465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21712027.post-67982843482554842892013-09-17T12:23:12.453-07:002013-09-17T12:23:12.453-07:00Please spread this message of love and acceptance ...Please spread this message of love and acceptance (a.k.a.

I am very interested in women's issues, especially with the position of women in the Church; however I don't feel strongly that women need to be ordained to the priesthood. That being said, I am absolutely appalled by the hatefulness being aimed at the women involved in this movement.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338949204492816733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21712027.post-31045796117809032542013-09-13T10:18:51.794-07:002013-09-13T10:18:51.794-07:00Absolutely beautiful and well-written.

The world needs diverse opinions, and part of our spiritual development should include building the capacity to appreciate opinions and beliefs other than our own. It's something I'm still working on, and you are a GREAT example.

It hurts me greatly when the vitriolic attacks come, especially when those who choose to engage in honest and sincere conversation usually realize afterwards that no, I'm not Satan-incarnate, I'm not seeking to rip down the Church, and I'm not a raging lunatic. I think this world would be (and can be!) a much better place when we allow space for questions, concerns, and a variety of experiences.
