Challenge:
A few months ago WAVE was contacted by a bishop searching for ways that he could better incorporate women’s voices into his calling. After several discussions we created a list of 26 things that priesthood leaders can do to help increase and empower women. We’ve included this list here as a resource for church callings as well as a template for finding ways within the gospel to create “disruptive innovation.” The Round Table wants to challenge you to look over this list, find one or two things that you can either incorporate into your leadership position or that you can suggest to your church leaders. Also, we would love to get your feedback on additional items we should include, clarify, and/or omit.
