In this episode we discuss two weeks' worth of Come Follow Me: Doctrine & Covenants 12-13, Joseph Smith History 1:66-75, and Doctrine & Covenants 14-17.
We learn that God's power and authority are not necessarily the same thing, and in fact, are often manifested separately in the scriptures and in LDS Church history.
We discuss the implications of Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery receiving authority from an angel, the 3 witnesses volunteering to testify of the Golden Plates, and the interesting fact that two female witnesses were not selected to be official witnesses.
What does authority mean in the Church for marginalized people, particularly disabled and neurodivergent people? Does it help or harm? Are there ways we can innovate our church authority and decision-making structures to better accommodate and include people with disabilities? We say YES!
