Don't they realize that most revelation comes when a human being has an idea, and then asks Heavenly Father? Why wouldn't it also work for a church member to have an idea and express it to the leadership?Angela Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06789673034059447690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169740169098584006.post-13932232605619386402012-12-12T23:45:39.316-08:002012-12-12T23:45:39.316-08:00The way that repentance is handled for women, espe...The way that repentance is handled for women, especially for sexual sins, can be so hurtful for women. I would love to see a few women in each ward (maybe the RS Presidency?) given the keys and stewardship necessary to help their fellow sisters so that there was another option for women besides meeting with a man about a very sensitive and often very gender influenced topic. It could take a very shaming and humiliating experience and turn it into an empowering one. It would also drastically reduce the chances of women who are seeking counsel and spiritual support following sexual violence (one in four women have been raped so this is can't be all that rare of a scenario) from being revictimized or placed in a situation that feels threatening, no matter how well intentioned the male leader.

As I see it with my limited level of understanding, I think there are practices that Heavenly Father would be willing to direct and encourage change with if His children prayed for item and petitioned leaders for them. I suspect there are even things that he wants to change, and may be waiting on faithful action of the members of the church to inspire those changes to be made through the leaders of the church.<br /><br />I would also love for it to be ok to talk about things like ths in church. It would be nice if people said more often "I actually don't know why this thing is the way it is. For now that's what's been revealed and that's really the only reason we have." Just that acknowledgement would help people e a lot more open to new ideas.Kyle Pratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543725169892369354noreply@blogger.com
