Assistant To The Quorum Of The Twelve Apostles
Assistant to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, commonly shortened to Assistant to the Twelve or Assistant to the Twelve Apostles, was a priesthood calling in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints between 1941 and 1976. As the title of the calling suggests, men who held this position assisted the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in fulfilling their priesthood responsibilities. Assistants to the Twelve were general authorities, and were generally assigned by the Twelve Apostles to preside over and speak at stake conferences; re-organize stakes; tour missions; and assist in the direction of worldwide missionary work. Like counselors in the First Presidency, Assistant to the Twelve was not a distinct priesthood ''office''—rather, it was a ''calling'' that any worthy high priest could be asked to fill. In April 1941, church president Heber J. Grant called five men to serve as Assistants to the Twelve. No more Assistants to the Twelve were called until 1951; the church co ...

In the Latter Day Saint tradition, apostles and prophets are believed to be the foundation of the church, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. The "Articles of Faith", written by Joseph Smith, mentions apostles: "We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth." History Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery were both designated apostles by 1830. The founding articles a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
