“You sisters … belong to the great sorority of saviorhood. You may not hold the priesthood. Men are different, men have to have something given to them to make them saviors of men, but not mothers, not women. You are born with an inherent right, an inherent authority, to be the saviors of human souls. You are the co-creators with God of his children. Therefore, it is expected of you by a right divine that you be the saviors and the regenerating force in the lives of God’s children here upon the earth.”
- Elder Matthew Cowley, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Matthew Cowley Speaks (1954), 109. As quoted in Preparing for an Eternal Marriage Teacher Manual, (2003), 47–50
