6.4 Taking the Stand

Women LDS Relief Society leaders are no longer allowed on the stand in the Bay Area, as covered in Peggy Fletcher Stack’s SL Tribune’s article. On this show, we talk about activism in general, our reaction to this change (not great) and discuss how we think our personal responsibility for revelation needs to be balanced with our need for change to come top down from the Church. ‘A slap in the face’: LDS Relief Society leaders ordered off the stand, by Peggy Fletcher Stack https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2023/11/24/slap-face-lds-relief-society/ Link to our Face in Hat discord server! https://discord.gg/MnSMvKHvwh YouTube channel!
