Women And The Priesthood

I have been putting this topic off for a long time to the point where it is weighing on me not only spiritually, but physically as well.  It is a topic that is very dear to my heart, but unfortunately it is a topic that gets the wicked very riled.  Instead of jumping right in, I have decided to first share a few stories from others who have had experience in this area, then, God willing, I will share some of my very own experiences.  I will tag each post that has to do with Priestess’ and women in the priesthood, so that they will be easier to find and cross-reference.  Although there may be many sources, several of these stories I will reference from the book, Voices Of Women, volumes one and two, by Rhea Kunz. 

It is my hope that the true order of the Priesthood will be revealed to those who are willing to receive it.  The Priesthood is not the authority to rule over anyone, including ruling over women and children.  It is a wicked society that even suggests or permits such a horrible crime.  The Priesthood of God is to be a servant, an employee.  It is not to rule, be the boss, the leader, or any such thing.  Priesthood is not even the authority to lead in righteousness.  Priesthood, if a person is accepted by God, means that person, who is accepted by God, is now on staff.  The priesthood holder is an employee, and it is their job to do the work that they are instructed to do by God himself.  Those who overstep their bounds, and say that God has commanded them to do it when He has not, are taking the Lord’s name in vain, and will be fired. 

Hopefully, this series of posts will reveal a spirit of service and true priesthood. 

This post is part of a series of posts on Women in the Priesthood.
