A new interactive infographic published by threestory.com shows how long each of the LDS apostles have been serving in the Quorum of the Twelve, when they were called, and their age now.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) are led by a group of 15 men, each ordained as an apostle of Jesus Christ. The longest-serving apostle serves as the President of the Church. The President selects two apostles to serve with him in the First Presidency. The other apostles form the Quorum of Twelve Apostles with the most senior of them serving as President of the Quorum.
When one of the apostles dies, a new apostle is selected by the President and sustained by the membership of the Church at a General Conference. At the October 2015 Conference, three new apostles were called: Ronald A. Rasband, Gary E. Stevenson, and Dale G. Renlund.
Click on the infographic below to go to the interactive version where you can mouse over the photos to see details for each apostle.
The website threestory.com also has an interactive graphic of all 100 members of the Twelve called since 1835, which you can sort by age, age at time of call, or by length of tenure.
WOW, VERY Nice Info ₩♥♥♥
Wonderful content, especially to follow our ancestors who were apostles in earlier periods of the Church, such as George Q. Cannon, Sylvester Q. Cannon, and Abraham H. Cannon. Really fascinating. Thanks, Larry
Larry, I just wanted to say thanks for your on-going and most excellent blog! I turn to your blog all the time to provide additional information/resources for customers of lds.org.
Seniority in the Quorum of the Twelve is determined by the date and order of ordination to the apostleship. But I have not yet seen the dates of ordination for Elders Rasband, Stevenson, and Renlund; not at LDS.org and not on the above linked infographic. Do you know where these ordination dates can be found?
