Ballard celebrates "equally significant," "equal opportunity for growth" of roles of men and women.
M. Russell Ballard, "Equality Through Diversity," General Relief Society Meeting, September 25, 1993, accessed April 21, 2021
Even though men and women are equal before God in their eternal opportunities, they have different, but equally significant, duties in His eternal plan. We must understand that God views all of His children with infinite wisdom and perfect fairness. Consequently, He can acknowledge and even encourage our differences while providing equal opportunity for growth and development.
