"While the idea of female ordination to ecclesiastical offices does not seem to be an open topic in official Church discourse, there have been various formulations in thinking over time about where women fit into the larger picture of priesthood in the restored Church of Jesus Christ. Discussions about women and priesthood in the Church have played out over the past two centuries within specific historical contexts. While much more could be said in terms of analysis and interpretation, this essay takes a descriptive, contextual approach to tracing key inflection points in Latter-day Saints’ discussions of women’s relationship to the priesthood. The period divisions are necessarily somewhat arbitrary, and the examples discussed should be construed as representative rather than comprehensive. Moreover, as the following discussion will show, it should be noted at the outset that the meaning and usage of many priesthood-related terms—such as 'ordain,' 'set apart,' 'confer,' 'keys,' and 'preside'—have changed over time, and such terms were often used with less precision than in current practice and publications. For that matter, definition and understanding of priesthood itself has evolved over time. My hope is that a clearer sense of the origins and development of the discussion over time will provide better ground for its continuance." [Author]
