Apostle (Latter Day Saints)

In the Latter Day Saint movement, an apostle is a "special witness of the name of Jesus Christ who is sent to teach the principles of salvation to others." In many Latter Day Saint churches, an apostle is a priesthood office of high authority within the church hierarchy. In many churches, apostles may be members of the Quorum of the Twelve and First Presidency of the church. In most Latter Day Saint churches, modern-day apostles are considered to have the same status and authority as the Biblical apostles.
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.〔Ephesians 2:20.〕 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.〔(Revelation, 6 April 1830 ).〕 The founding articles and covenants of the Church of Christ stated an "apostle is an elder" and, as such, had the same responsibilities as an elder, though an apostle's primary responsibility was preaching.〔(Articles and Covenants, ca. Apr. 1830 ); (Revelation, 22–23 September 1832 )〕 Other church members with proselytizing responsibilities were also referred to as apostles.〔(Definition of "apostle," Joseph Smith Papers (accessed 23 October 2012) )〕 A June 1829 revelation appointed Cowdery and David Whitmer to designate twelve disciples.〔(Revelation, June 1829—B )〕 Subsequently, the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles was organized February 14, 1835, with the selection of twelve men.〔(Minutes, 14–15 February 1835 )〕 After the appointment of a quorum of apostles, the term became increasingly restricted to members of that quorum, but members of the quorums of the seventy were also sometimes referred to as apostles.〔Joseph Smith, Journal, (28 December 1835 ) and (27 March 1836 )〕
