RadioWest, the radio news interview show out of KUER in Salt Lake City, is talking today about Mormonism, women, and the priesthood.
Here is the abstract for the episode:
Thursday, we’re talking about the role of women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Over the last few years, a movement of Mormon women asserting their rights within the Church has reemerged. They’ve been asking to pray in general conference and be more involved in day-to-day decisions. Now there is a group asking to be given the LDS priesthood. But why haven’t women been given the priesthood? Is it a doctrinal issue or a cultural one? Doug is joined by Mormon women to talk about the history and about what’s at stake.
Guests:
- Kate Kelly, OrdainWomen.org
- Neylan McBaine, Blogger and Columnist
- Andrea Radke-Moss, Historian, BYU Idaho and blogger at Juvenile Instructor
- Jenet Jacob Erickson, Brigham Young University School of Family Life
I am not familiar with all of the guests, but Radke-Moss and McBaine kick butt.
