Our Bloggers Recommend: Why the LDS Church’s top women’s leaders are not necessarily top leaders in the global faith

Exponent bloggers April Young-Bennett, Katie Ludlow Rich, Lindsay Ott Denton (“ElleK” on the blog) and Abby Maxwell Hansen share their thoughts in this Salt Lake Tribune article by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Peggy Fletcher Stack. Did you know that top female leaders in the church no longer meet separately with the first presidency or an apostle on a regular basis? (Instead, they sit on an “executive council” where they are outnumbered by men, a change that occurred in 2015 in the wake of the Ordain Women movement.) What are your thoughts on Peggy’s reporting?
