Apostle (Mormonism)
In
Mormonism
, an
Apostle
is a person ordained to be a traveling councilor bearing witness of
Jesus Christ
. In many
Latter Day Saint
denominations, an Apostle is also a
priesthood
office of high authority within the church hierarchy, as a member of the
Quorum of the Twelve
, although not all apostles have been part of the Quorum. In Mormon theology, modern-day apostles have the same status and authority as the Biblical
apostles
. In
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
the
President
and Prophet is also always an Apostle, as often are his Counselors in the First Presidency. Other Apostles have been ordained as such (or are thought to have been) outside of these positions, as for example members of the
First Quorum of the Seventy
.
