ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Universal priesthood

Hey kiddo! Have you ever heard the term "universal priesthood"? It may sound complicated, but let me break it down for you in a way that is easy to understand, just like I would explain it to a 5-year-old.

Do you remember learning about the word "priest"? Well, a priest is someone who leads a religious ceremony or service. In some religions, priests are also responsible for taking care of the spiritual needs of their community.

Now, the universal priesthood is a type of priesthood that includes everyone, not just certain people like in some religions where only men or certain people can be priests. In the universal priesthood, every person is considered to have the potential to be a priest and help others in a spiritual way.

It means that if you are a part of a community that follows the universal priesthood, you have the power to help others and make a difference in the world, not just the people who are officially recognized as spiritual leaders.

So, in a nutshell, the universal priesthood means that everyone can play an important role in helping others and spreading positivity, no matter who they are.
