Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index In Mormonism, an Apostle is a person ordained to be a special witness of Jesus Christ, to govern and administer to the entire Church and to hold the highest Priesthood authority in the Church for life. 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 largest and most well-known Mormon religion, there is a Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. In addition, the three members of the First Presidency, the highest governing body of the Church, are considered to be apostles. This article is from Wikipedia.
