How Women Have Been Witnesses to the Most Significant Events in Church History

Yesterday, the First Presidency announced historic changes in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that allow women and children to serve as witnesses for the sacred ordinances of baptism and baptism for the dead and for endowed women to serve as witnesses to temple sealings.

We are joyful about these changes. Imagine a beloved sister serving as a witness to the living baptism of her younger brother.

By Dr. Joseph Q. Jarvis

As I studied the Bible during my youth and on into adulthood before I visited Israel—the modern nation that encompasses the Holy Land, where Jesus lived and ministered—I too had questions about events described in the Old and New Testaments. I used maps of Palestine and Jerusalem to try to follow the storylines in the Bible and to try to discover where these sacred events unfolded.
