We Witnessed Our Understanding of the Gospel being Extended

   I don't know that this is seeing a revelation come forth, per se, but it has some of the same implications.
   We witnessed church doctrine being defined this week. We witnessed our understanding of the gospel being extended. One gospel essay said, "(W)omen exercise priesthood authority even though they are not ordained to priesthood office." And, a second essay made it clear that belief in a Mother in heaven is doctrine.
   Nothing changed in how the church operates. What women have been doing, they continue to do.
   Reading portions of the two essays was revealing, for me, as it showed Joseph Smith's thoughts on women and their roles. One interesting feature was his saying, "(I)f the sisters should have faith to heal the sick, let all hold their tongues, and let every thing roll on."
