Each Christmas, Ordain Women publishes a wish list of policy changes that would brighten the holiday season for all Latter-day Saints who seek gender equality. Lightheartedly sung to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas, we offer the list again this year with modifications that reflect the policy changes that have occurred since we first started publishing Ordain Women’s Twelve Days of Christmas. We hope to cross further changes off our yearly lists until women are ordained and our religious community fully embraces the radical inclusiveness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. May it be so. Merry Christmas!
