Women in Church Leadership: The Gap

[Anonymous]

Thank OON. Like you said- nothing wrong at all with these individuals. They seem like good people. But the lack of diversity in almost any way is shocking. Kind of like the last round of apostles. The new guys were not the devil incarnate, but the lack of diversity is just glaring.

Why is it that the only work experience listed for any of them is time spent teaching early morning seminary? Have none of them had any outside work experience – or is it just not relevant to their church leadership responsibility?

We know the members of the Q15’s professions before their church career got started. I don’t know whether it was a part of their bios or whether their celebrity caused people to dig.

I suspect that where no work experience is listed for these nine, it’s probable that they have never had jobs outside the home, or at least not career jobs. I say this because for board members, a few of them do list work. For example, Virginia Smith, of the Primary General Board has a BA in Business Administration and her lds.org BIO mentions her career in “hospital management and nonprofit administration.”
