If the female mission rate dramatically increases, one wonders if this presages a fundamental change, down the line, in the role of women in the church.
I.e. an expanded leadership role. |

Wouldn't the mission result be an increased number of women who better understand the role of the priesthood?

It might open their eyes to how juvenile and immature many 18 year old boys are. I think it is fair to say that in general sister missionaries are more mature, and more motivated than the average elder. Sister missionaries are like a volunteer army, whereas the elders are more like a drafted army. Many misfits in the latter. |

some people speculate that the lowering of the age requirement is actually admission that the "raise the bar" campaign for mission eligibility has been a failure.
I personally don't have an opinion on whether "raise the bar" was a failure or not. It's a question of how much good came out of those "iffy" missionaries. Certainly a good percent turned things around in their lives. But also a certain percent were disruptive and destructive. |
