Reviews and analyzes the position of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the ordination of women and blacks. Despite supposed liberalism of the Reorganized Church, it has simply gone along with whatever popular feelings were present at a given moment. Very much in favor of racial equality during the Reconstruction, the church forgot the great cause in the years to follow, not reviving it until racial issues rose again during the 1960s. The RLDS, as opposed to the LDS, has preferred a priestly or pastoral mode of operation, rather than the prophetic mode chosen by the LDS.
