Two questions:

1: Would it be morally valid to you

2: What is your comfort level in females performing them (Mormon or otherwise)?

What’s a “Non Denom Caucus”?

If the “celebrant” is authorized by the state to perform marriages, and the couple has a license, then such marriage is legally valid.

The rest of the ceremonies the writer discusses are, I guess, valid if the people who hired the “celebrant” are happy with them.

(Was that a non-denominational post? How can you tell?)

While not a "feminist", I have been very comfortable in attending churches with female deacons, elders, board presidents, etc. Just haven't been to one with a female pastor, but I see no problem with it.

I would have no problem with a female performing a marriage ceremony, or officiating at a funeral.

From personal experience, I find that once "legalism" takes over, it gets in the way of the personal relationship with Jesus.

I vowed to not let men interfere with that relationship when I left a religion that believes "authorities" have the right to interfere in a covenant that is between God and you and actually "cancel" such a covenant. What arrogance!

No. A very low level of comfort.

My question is this: there are countless sectlets* that call themselves Mormon, do any have priestesses?

*lDS, fLDS, the ULCJC..... ( I know the first two probably don’t, but this is for illustrative purposes only )
