28 The History of the Relief Society with Jenn Kamp

Another great episode with Jenn Kamp on her podcast Our Truth Be Told! If you want to see our slides, our sources, etc., please go over to her YouTube channel and watch it there!

I learned so much when preparing for this podcast! I had been a part of the Relief Society since I was seventeen and didn’t know most of these things! One prophet promised the Relief Society a building and commended the women for doing so much good! The next prophet took their funds and bought a building for the Presiding Bishopric, allowing the women “only a few rooms.” Another prophet stated that not even the prophet himself had the power to take the carefully stored grain out of the hands of the Society who it rightfully belonged to. Another prophet secretly sold the entire grain storage during WWI to the US government without the permission of the Relief Society and they kept the funds.

The women in the church’s history have not been treated fairly!
