Members Who Have Disabilities

Endowment. Members who have physical disabilities may receive their own endowment.

Melchizedek Priesthood holders and sisters who have mental disabilities may receive their own endowment if the bishop determines that they have sufficient mental capacity to understand it and to make and keep the associated covenants. If the member lives with his or her parents, the bishop counsels with them.

Sealing to Parents. Persons with mental disabilities who are eight or older and are sufficiently accountable must be baptized before being sealed to their parents. Those who are not accountable do not need to be baptized before being sealed. Bishops refer questions about specific cases to the stake president, who may refer the questions to the First Presidency.

Members older than 21 who do not have sufficient mental capacity to understand the endowment may be sealed to parents without being endowed.

Work for the Dead. Members who have disabilities may do temple work for the dead if they (1) have sufficient mental capacity to understand the ordinance and (2) can care for themselves without help or are accompanied by relatives or friends who can provide the help needed.

Blind Members. Blind members should have members of the same gender accompany and assist them. Guide dogs are not permitted in temples.

Issuing Limited-Use Recommends

General Guidelines

The bishop, or his counselors as authorized by him, may issue limited-use recommends to worthy unendowed members as follows: 1. For members ages 12 and older to be baptized and confirmed for the dead. 2. For single members ages 8 through 20 to be sealed to their parents. 3. For single members ages 8 through 20 to observe sealings of their living brothers and sisters to their parents.

The same standards of worthiness apply to those who receive limited-use recommends as to those who receive other recommends. Male members ages 12 and older must hold the priesthood. It is not necessary to have been a member for one year to receive a limited-use recommend.

Limited-Use Recommends for Sealing Living

Children to Parents

Single members ages 8 through 20 are issued limited-use recommends to be sealed to their parents or to observe the sealing of their living brothers and sisters to their parents. Recommends may be issued for individual children or for a group of children in the same family. The same recommend may be used to list children who are being sealed and children who are observing. Children under 8 do not need recommends for these purposes. Members who are married or are 21 or older must receive their own endowment before they can be sealed to their parents or observe the sealing of living brothers and sisters to their parents.

The approval of the First Presidency is necessary to issue limited-use recommends to children and youth to observe the sealings of stepbrothers and stepsisters to parents. No special approvals are necessary to issue limited-use recommends to adopted brothers and sisters, half-brothers and sisters, and full brothers and sisters who wish to observe sealings of living children to parents.

whom doesn't want free Food?

[davidlory]

@DeathScepter What part made you think of this?

[DeathScepter]

@davidlory I do admit I am slightly weird. it is your comment about homeless wanting free food. Then again that is normal desire for people want stuff for free. It is normal to want to work and take pride in their work. There are several reasons to be homeless.

[davidlory]

@DeathScepter Salvation is free, but it will cost you your life.

[SneakyTweezer]

If a mentally disabled person is not allowed into a temple, how can they attend temple wedings of temple worthy family members? Is there special dispensation for these people for attending these events?

[davidlory]

@SneakyTweezer To me, I read this as allowing a family member to have a limited use recommend to observe the event if they have a mental disability. So if I were a bishop, I would grant it. Answer: Yes.

[DeathScepter]

@davidlory Everything in the end has a cost. The question is, "what are you willing to pay for it?"

@SneakyTweezer and this too

The bishop, or his counselors as authorized by him, may issue limited-use recommends to worthy unendowed members as follows: 1. For members ages 12 and older to be baptized and confirmed for the dead. 2. For single members ages 8 through 20 to be sealed to their parents. 3. For single members ages 8 through 20 to observe sealings of their living brothers and sisters to their parents.

@SneakyTweezer Blind Members. Blind members should have members of the same gender accompany and assist them. Guide dogs are not permitted in temples.

[davidlory]

@SneakyTweezer Members older than 21 who do not have sufficient mental capacity to understand the endowment may be sealed to parents without being endowed.

Work for the Dead. Members who have disabilities may do temple work for the dead if they (1) have sufficient mental capacity to understand the ordinance and (2) can care for themselves without help or are accompanied by relatives or friends who can provide the help needed.
