Seventy is a priesthood office in the Melchizedek Priesthood of several denominations within the Latter Day Saint movement, including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Traditionally, a Latter Day Saint holding this priesthood office is a "traveling minister"[1] and an "especial witness"[2] of Jesus Christ, charged with the mission of preaching the gospel to the entire world under the direction of the twelve Apostles.[3] The office is based on the Seventy mentioned in the Gospel of Luke 10:1-2. More than one holder of the office of Seventy are referred to collectively as Seventies. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, priesthood is considered to be the power and authority to act in the name of God, including the performance of sacred rites and ordinances, and the performance of miracles. ...

In practical terms, the priesthood office of Seventy is one which has varied widely over the course of history. As originally envisioned by Latter Day Saint founder Joseph Smith, Jr. in the 1830s, the Seventy were to be a body composed of several separate quorums of up to 70 Seventies each, all of which would be led by seven presidents. These presidents, chosen from the first quorum, would appoint and direct the other quorums of Seventy.[4] The term Latter Day Saint most commonly refers to (but is not limited to) members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which, its members believe, was founded under the direction of Jesus Christ by the prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. ...

In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the largest of the Latter Day Saint sects, the Quorums of the Seventy are directed and supervised hierarchically by the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, who are in turn directed by the First Presidency. As introduced by Joseph Smith, the Apostles and the Seventy had authority only outside the main body of Latter Day Saints in Zion and in the outlying stakes. Members in Zion and the stakes were led by the High Council of Zion (under the direction of the First Presidency) and stake high councils.

As a body, the Seventy in the LDS Church are considered to be equal in priesthood authority with the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. This presumably means that if the Apostles were killed or incapacitated, the Seventy could take over the function of the Apostles. However, in such circumstances, the Seventy would be required to act unanimously.[5] The Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the largest attraction in the citys Temple Square. ...

In 1837, six of the Presidents of the Seventy were released and were asked to become High Priests. Five of these men were replaced by others (Levi Ward Hancock was not in fact ordained a high priest and he returned to his office among the Seven Presidents of the Seventy). The seventh president, Joseph Young (a brother to Brigham Young), was not released and remained Presiding President of the First Seven Presidents for the rest of his life.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today, the members of the First and the Second Quorums of the Seventy are General Authorities of the Church, with responsibilities covering the Church as a whole, including areas of the Church where stakes are established. This result came about after Brigham Young disbanded the High Council in Zion (then in Nauvoo) and led his followers west to present-day Utah. Subsequent stakes in Utah were organized under the direction of the Apostles and the Seventy, rather than under the direction of a new High Council in Zion, as was the previous practice.

History of the Seventy in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Expanding membership By the time Joseph Smith was martyred, he had already organized 3 1/2 quorums of Seventy. By 1845, there were ten quorums of Seventy, including the First Quorum of the Seventy. The Seventies in the first quorum became the seven presidents for each of the other quorums; that is, there were 63 presidents, 7 for each of the 9 other quorums, and the seven remaining members were the presidency of the first quorum. The members of the first quorum were thus spread out across the Church, making meetings of the first quorum rare. Joseph Smith, Jr. ...
1845 was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ...
Elders were often ordained to the office of Seventy immediately before they left on a mission. Quorums were not restricted to geography, so individual quorums were scattered all over the world. In Mormonism, an elder is a priesthood and leadership position in many denominations of the Latter Day Saint movement. ...
It has been suggested that Senior Missionaries be merged into this article or section. ...
In 1883, Church President John Taylor localized the quorums of Seventy. Each stake had a quorum of Seventy, and Seventies in that stake would belong to that quorum. Taylor also prescribed that the senior president of the first 63 quorums could meet with the seven presidents of the first quorum and that would constitute a meeting of the first quorum. This never happened, however. This organization continued until Church President Spencer W. Kimball's reorganization of the Seventies in 1976. 1883 (MDCCCLXXXIII) was a common year starting on Monday (see link for calendar). ...

Though the number of Seventies in the church grew, the number of Presidents remained at seven. In the 1930s, the First Seven Presidents were renamed the First Council of the Seventy. The 1930s (years from 1930–1939) were described as an abrupt shift to more radical and conservative lifestyles, as countries were struggling to find a solution to the Great Depression, also known in Europe as the World Depression. ...
Eventually, the stake quorums of Seventy were no longer numbered and in 1936 they were put under the local responsibility of Stake Presidents. This rendered the holders of the office of Seventy an anomaly, and subsequently, in 1961, Church President David O. McKay ordained those of the First Council of the Seventy who wished it to be high priests.

First Quorum of the Seventy formed In 1975, under the direction of Church President Spencer W. Kimball, the First Quorum of the Seventy was reconstituted with new members alongside the First Council of the Seventy. The reason for the change was that the growth of the Church necessitated the call of more General Authorities. In 1976, the First Council of the Seventy, the First Quorum of the Seventy, and the Assistants to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles were all merged into a new First Quorum of the Seventy under a seven-member Presidency of the Seventy. While members of each body served for life and were ranked by seniority, the opportunity was taken to name as members of the Presidency, whose membership rotated, men who were younger and more active than the senior members of the old Assistants and Council. In 1978, some of the older members of the Seventy were retired as the first Emeritus General Authorities. However, members appointed through 1981 were still granted life tenure. 1975 (MCMLXXV) was a common year starting on Wednesday. ...

Second Quorum of the Seventy formed In 1984, the next step in reforming the Quorums of the Seventy was taken. For the first time since the 1975 reorganization, some Seventies were appointed to the First Quorum of the Seventy who were not to serve for life, but for terms of several years. In 1989, these limited-term members were separated into a new Second Quorum of the Seventy (all other Quorums of Seventy having been discontinued in 1986). At the same time, the practice was instituted of retiring all members of the First Quorum at the October General Conference following their 70th birthdays, or earlier in the case of serious health problems. 1984 (MCMLXXXIV) was a leap year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Additional Quorums of Seventy formed In the 1990s, Church President Gordon B. Hinckley announced the creation of a new leadership position known as the Area Authority. The Area Authorities were to replace the Regional Representatives of the Quorum of the Twelve who had served as an echelon of leadership above the local stake presidents. Eventually, it was decided that Area Authorities would be ordained to the office of Seventy. As a result, these Area Authorities were renamed Area Authority Seventies, and the Church announced that these new Seventies would become members of the newly-created Third, Fourth, and Fifth Quorums of the Seventy. Later, the title Area Authority Seventy was shortened to Area Seventy, which is the title currently in use. This article is 150 kilobytes or more in size. ...

The Area Seventies serve in the various geographic regions of the world called Areas in which the Church is governed by Area Presidencies. An Area Presidency is composed of members of the First and Second Quorums of the Seventy.

The Third Quorum previously covered all of Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and the western islands of the Pacific.

Current Organization As of 2007, the Quorums of the Seventy are organized into eight quorums with a presidency of seven. The Seventy fill an important role as emissaries of the Quorum of the Twelve and Presidency of the Church, allowing the group of 15 Apostles to efficiently organize, train, proselyte, and administer to millions of people scattered all across the globe. The Seventy are the layer between local Church administration and general Church administration. 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the Anno Domini (common) era. ...

In general, Seventies must first be at least Elders in the Melchizedek Priesthood, but in practice most have previously been ordained to the office of High Priest. Seventies organize and act in the place of Apostles, but a Seventy does not hold Apostolic authority. This means that they may have the power to do anything that is required to organize and administer the Church, as long as they are under the direction of an Apostle. Apart from the Seven Presidents of the Seventy, Seventies do not hold priesthood "keys". In Mormonism, an elder is a priesthood and leadership position in many denominations of the Latter Day Saint movement. ...

Today, with more than twelve million members in the Church, most members will not be able to have face-to-face contact with an Apostle, or even sit in the same room with one, with any regularity. However, the Seventies are able to meet and greet members throughout the world, and thus they become the personal face of the general Church administration to many members across the world.
The Presidency of the Seventy Historically, seven members of the First Quorum of the Seventy are called to serve as the Presidency of the Seventy. This precedent was broken, however, when in 2004 Elder Robert C. Oaks of the Second Quorum of the Seventy was sustained to the Presidency to fill the vacancy created by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf's call to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

They generally serve until their 70th birthday, or until their health fails them, at which time they are given emeritus status and released from active service as General Authorities. Emeritus General Authorities may, however, be asked to be temple presidents or mission presidents, and they remain members of the First Quorum.

Members of the First Quorum of the Seventy serve under the direction of the Quorum of the Twelve and the Presidency of the Seventy. They do not visit local units of the Church except under the explicit direction, and they do not teach or give talks in Church meetings except with permission. Often, members of this Quorum will accompany the twelve on their visits to missions and stakes throughout the church. Other times, they will be sent to act in behalf of the Quorum of the Twelve to stake conferences and to provide training and support to stakes, missions, areas, and temples.

Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Quorums of the Seventy Members of the Third through Eighth Quorums of the Seventy are not General Authorities, and generally maintain their temporal vocations. Unlike Apostles and members of the First and Second Quorums, they are not required to relocate to Salt Lake City in order to be close to Church headquarters. Members of these Quorums are Area Seventies. As assigned, they reorganize and create stakes, train stake presidencies, preside at stake conferences, serve in Area Presidencies, tour missions, train mission presidents, and complete other assigned duties. They serve in their callings for approximately six to ten years. Upon their release, they cease to be Area Seventies and members of a Quorum of the Seventy, but they retain the priesthood office of Seventy.
