Women Lead in Teaching

My wife has been preparing for the new emphasis in the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for more gospel learning in the home. This statement from the prophet struck a chord with her.

This morning the announcement was made regarding the new Sunday schedule and home-centered, Church-supported curriculum. You, my dear sisters, are a key to the success of this new, balanced, and coordinated gospel-teaching effort. Please teach those whom you love what you are learning from the scriptures. Teach them how to turn to the Savior for His healing and cleansing power when they sin. And teach them how to draw upon His strengthening power every day of their lives.

As I was listening to an older talk from 2004, I heard Sister Julie B. Beck say this.

Every woman can be a gospel doctrine instructor in her home, and every sister in the Church needs gospel knowledge as a leader and teacher.
