Why LDS Women Should Control the Money of the Church Five days before she died, brilliant LDS scholar Dr. Melissa Inouye gave a remarkable interview in which she described how women can be better included in the decision-making of the Church regarding money. In response to the question, “What is your wildest dream for Mormonism,” she said:

“We [LDS women] have huge potential to change the world because of the financial resources, and, connected to that, the global logistical and administrative networks that we have. And, connected to that, the local, on-the-ground manpower and womenpower that we have.

“We could do so much good if [the women’s organization] Relief Society, for example, were in charge of distributing our humanitarian aid and could coordinate those local projects in their areas. Or if, for example, to preserve some sort of complementarian difference but to make sure that women had significant power, if men were in charge of like the sacerdotal priesthood — you know, call the men for the ordinances type things — and women were in charge of the finances, then we would have a true kind of codependent relationship."
