With the recent momentous reduction of the minimum age for female missionaries, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may very well be at a crossroads the likes of which it has not seen since the renunciation of polygamy in 1890 or the extension of the priesthood to black male members in 1978. The age reduction and the creation of new leadership positions for women will go a long way toward making sister missionaries feel more welcome. Intentional or not, the swelling tide of sister missionaries constitutes a movement which ensures that these young women and their church will never be the same. Here, Rabada discusses the Church's new policy on sister missionaries.
