Mormons were told last October that this weekend’s General Conference, which marks the bicentennial of the First Vision, would be unique. Little did we know then just how unique.
As Conference approaches in this time of fear, loss, and social distancing, Ordain Women aspires both to continue to give hope and support to our religious community and keep the movement for gender equality alive and well. To that end, OW created “Women Are Watching — Conference Bingo” as a way to remind church leaders that women care deeply about gender equity and are watching for substantive signs that they do too.
If you’d like to play along, download the Women are Watching — Conference Bingo Card here. As you watch each session of General Conference, mark the appropriate space when, for example, a woman offers a prayer or a woman of color speaks or a scripture is amended to be gender inclusive. As is usual in Bingo, the middle square is free and, like priesthood ordination and the generosity of God, should be available to all.
