The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has issued the following statement:
"Whenever the Lord has had a people on the earth who will obey His word, they have been commanded to build temples. Scriptures document patterns of temple worship from the times of Adam and Eve, Moses, Solomon, Nephi, and others.
With the restoration of the gospel in these latter days, temple worship has also been restored to bless the lives of people across the world and on the other side of the veil as well.
Over these many centuries, details associated with temple work have been adjusted periodically, including language, methods of construction, communication, and record-keeping. Prophets have taught that there will be no end to such adjustments as directed by the Lord to His servants.
A dedicated temple is the most holy of any place of worship on the earth. Its ordinances are sacred and are not discussed outside a holy temple."

Interesting. A practical way to keep the women attached to the church, then, when a lack of men renders the emphasis that a woman can't progress without a man impractical. I think you are on to something. This could be the one reason that women might end up being ordained, also.Sanctorian wrote:These changes seem to be reflective of the amount of men leaving the church. Women no longer covenant to their apostate husbands but covenant directly to the church. It’s a play on the changing demographics and is another signal the church is losing on all fronts.
