Time for Galatians 3:28? 

Thanks to Laurel Thatcher Ulrich for her article, “Mormon Women in the History of Second-Wave Feminism” (43, no. 2 [Summer 2010]: 45–63). Is there, I hope, another wave yet to come? Though I am male, I look forward to the day when Galatians 3:28 is fulfilled: “There is neither . . . male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” 

After twenty years of absence, I’ve been investigating the possibility of reconnecting with my Mormon heritage. The Church’s stifling patriarchy is one of the reasons that I have not been rebaptized. I am constrained by a dream in which I was ordained to the priesthood by a woman. I will consider joining the Church when my sister has the authority to baptize me and my stepmother has the authority to ordain me to the priesthood. 

I continue to pray for the Brethren in Salt Lake City. May they receive whatever revelation is necessary to start treating the sexes with equal dignity, allowing all worthy members to hold the priesthood.
