This handout was submitted by Shannon J. to accompany Manual 1 Lesson 16: Women and Priesthood Bearers. It has the following excellent quotes about women and the priesthood:
- “Neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.” 1 Cor. 11:11
“Woman stands at [man’s] side a joint-inheritor with him in the fullness of all things. Exaltation and eternal increase is her lot as well as his. Godhood is not for men only; it is for men and women together.” Bruce R. McConkie
“Where spiritual things are concerned, as pertaining to all of the gifts of the Spirit, with reference to the receipt of revelation, the gaining of testimonies, and the seeing of visions, in all matters that pertain to godliness and holiness and which are brought to pass as a result of personal righteousness – in all these things men and women stand in a position of absolute equality before the Lord.” Bruce R. McConkie
Thanks Sister J!
