To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
A few years ago, our son came to us explaining a girl in his ward was asking about his thoughts on the idea that women should be given the priesthood too. This particular son has always had an understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and I have all confidence his answer was clear, concise, […]
