April Mormon Conference May Make History: Women Will Pray
The Salt Lake Tribune’s Peggy Fletcher Stack reports that, “LDS women are scheduled, as for now, to offer invocations or benedictions at next month’s General Conference—an apparent first in the faith’s 183-year history.” The news raised much excitement; especially among Mormon activists who launched the effort called “Let Women Pray in General Conference” this past January. “The activists urged the faithful to write letters to six high-ranking LDS leaders,” Stack reports. “The drive generated about 1600 letters from 300 participants.”
