Image of Love that Might Not Be Allegorical |
Sister Lewis wasn’t alone in her curiosity about three lessons
on a book that some do not take as scripture. Kaitlyn Millsap expressed similar
surprise. Said Millsap, “[Sister Wallace] had some nice medieval prints for the second
lesson, but some of those prints gave me the impression that this wasn’t just a
spiritual allegory.” Millsap continued that, “by the third lesson, when she
brought in all of those quotes from that book And They Were Not Ashamed, it was pretty clear that…well…more
than just the spirit was involved.”
“Yah, by the third lesson it seemed like we were learning a
bit more about Sister Wallace then we might have wanted,” concluded Maggie
Baker, Relief Society Second Counselor. “We spent a lot of time talking about chapter
5 where the man is supposed to have abs like ‘bright ivory overlaid with
sapphires’ and legs like ‘pillars of marble,’ but it was pretty clear that that
doesn’t describe brother Wallace anymore.”
Alicia King also remarked that “it didn’t take much to see
that, um, well, Brother Wallace is not as interested in going to the ‘mountain
of myrrh’ or the ‘hill of frankincense’ as he apparently should be.” Sister
King also added, “oh, and I will never look at two young roes or clusters of
grapes or spikenard, whatever that is, the same way again.”
