Mormon healing in the past was ritually diverse, incorporating many forms and enlisting a variety of participants. Several authors have discussed the participation of women in Mormon healing rituals. This study however, traces the history of female ritual healing within the broader context of LDS Church liturgy and strives to fill the explanatory lacunae between the past and present.
