To advance the cause of gender equality within the LDS church.
Vision Statement
- We will provide a safe place for women and men to discuss their struggles with accepted gender roles and disparities of gender equality in the LDS Church. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
- We prayerfully will work with local and general leaders to be guided in highlighting and shaping policies that allow for the more full participation of our sisters and daughters. It is our hope that by joining with leaders, WAVE can help to aid in the church’s retention effort of women. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
- We will actively engage members of the LDS church in good causes and promote social justice for women both within the church and in the larger world. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
- We envision a church where members will seek further light and knowledge in understanding how doctrine affects women. Our organization will encourage members to understand the rich history of women within the LDS religion, to develop every spiritual gift that God promises in D&C 46 and to claim the blessings of heaven.
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ and members in particular. 1 Corinthians 12:26-27
