Some LDS women call for female admission into the all-male priesthood. Others balk at any changes to their place in the faith. Still more desire something in between those two positions.

So, what do Mormon women want?

That will be the topic of a Trib Talk Live event Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Salt Lake City's Main Library, 210 E. 400 South.

The Salt Lake Tribune's Jennifer Napier-Pearce will moderate a town hall discussion in the Nancy Tessman Auditorium with leading voices on the issue.

Panelists will include Ordain Women officer Debra Jenson, Brigham Young University doctoral candidate Mica McGriggs, BYU-Idaho professor Andrea Radke-Moss, historian Barbara Jones Brown and award-winning Tribune religion reporter Peggy Fletcher Stack.

This free forum — live-streamed at sltrib.com and broadcast live on KCPW 88.3/105.3 FM — is sure to add to the conversation about the evolving role of women in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a subject that has shifted from the pews to the pulpit, from advocacy websites to the mainstream media.
