We sit down with Jon Streeter to revisit his “Race Apology” in 2018. The apology had the appearance of being officially from the Church even though it wasn’t and Streeter took a lot of criticism for the fake apology. Now 6 years later Streeter sits down to explain his thoughts both then and now and to discuss various aspects of the project and its aftermath

“I observed the pain and frustration experienced by those who suffered these restrictions and those who criticized the restrictions and sought for reasons. I studied the reasons then being given and could not feel confirmation of the truth of any of them. As part of my prayerful study, I learned that, in general, the lord rarely gives reasons for the commandments and directions he gives to his servants. I determined to be loyal to our prophetic leaders and to pray, as promised from the beginning of these restrictions, that the day would some when all would enjoy the blessings of priesthood and temple. Now that day had come, and I wept for joy.” –Dallin Oaks
Note the emphasis on the word “all” in “all would enjoy the blessings of priesthood and the temple.”
Streeter calls the statement “the atom bomb at the heart of this whole controversy.”
What is never mentioned in the aftermath of the statement is the implicit assumption that women will always be excluded from the priesthood.
The sexism goes unmentioned. That silent boat sails by unhailed.
