Ordain Women

We love seeing the choir in Ordain Women purple during the opening session of General Conference, particularly this year as OW marks its 10th Anniversary. Dust off your OW Women Are Watching—Conference Bingo cards to see if LDS leaders listen to our pleas for gender equality.

The LDS general conference gender tallies are in: Out of 33 talks, 31 were given by men, 2 by women. Out of 10 prayers, 8 were given by men, 2 by women. Clearly—and not at all surprisingly—the church privileges men’s voices over women’s. It’s 2023. Isn’t it time to ordain women?

It’s Ordain Women’s 10th Anniversary! ordainwomen.org/on-the-road-to…

The October 2022 General Conference final tally is in: Only 2/10 prayers and 4/35 talks were given by women. The brethren often assure us that they love us. The question is are they keen on listening to us?

It’s that time of year again. Are you watching? Speaker/prayer tally after the 1st day: Only 3/20 speakers were women; only 1/6 prayers were given by women.

As Ordain Women enters it's 10th year, our response to last weekend's LDS general conference is the same as it has been and will continue to be, particularly given the insistent preponderance of male voices: Isn't it about time? ORDAIN WOMEN.

The world has changed … Brad Wilcox, John Bytheway, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints [have] to change if they want to stay relevant in the lives of girls and women … “

It’s that time of year again …

“Clearly, paying attention and speaking up are essential to the revelatory process. To that end, Ordain Women once again offers Women Are Watching — Conference Bingo as a reminder to do both.” ordainwomen.org/women-are-stil…

The LDS church telling women that they can “act with the priesthood” but then not allowing women to actually HAVE the priesthood is like the LDS church having a full kitchen in every church building but then never letting anyone cook any food in it

Ordain Women is immensely thankful for all of the people in our lives who work tirelessly for equality and inclusion. #givethanks
