Is a patriarchal blessing really an ordinace? I guess since you need a reccomend the title may fit, but I still am not sure if that is the best word.- John Pack Lambert —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnpacklambert (talk • contribs) 19:17, 26 April 2007

I'm pretty sure you don't need a recommend, because youth can recieve them. Maddiekate 01:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually, yes, you do have to have a recommend from your bishop. This is a recommend like a temple recommend, but is specifically for patriarchal blessings. And yes, it is an ordinance. Any priesthood blessing is considered an ordinance. -Visorstuff 00:52, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes you do need a recommed and the recommend expires six months after you receive it. It is a very detailed recommend. I get one in 2 weeks and I am excited.Emeraldstone (talk) 03:26, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

While there are many cases with parents having separate lineage from children and vice versa, it is because the tribes were so interelated that when you are given your lineage you are only told your dominant tribe lineage. Everybody has a little of everything in them.Emeraldstone (talk) 01:11, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recording of Father's Blessings

Page currently says, "...every Latter-day Saint father that holds the Melchizedek Priesthood can pronounce blessings upon one of his children or his spouse as necessary...The Church encourages families to create their own records of these blessings...." but doesn't reference it. I'd like to see a reference for this (I'm not questioning giving the blessing, just the recording portion of the sentence). CsikosLo (talk) 15:40, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page

Just a friendly reminder that Wikipedia talk pages are not forums. Some of the things that have been mentioned do relate to improving the article, but when you write them make sure you are focused on improving the article and not just asking advice!  :) Darkage7 (talk) 08:00, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
