About this listen

An analysis of sources that chronicle the historical evolution of the priesthood within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They trace changes from the early organization of priesthood offices and quorums established by Joseph Smith to later streamlining efforts under leaders like Brigham Young and Joseph F. Smith. The documents highlight key developments, including the establishment of age ranges for Aaronic Priesthood ordination, the extension of priesthood to all worthy male members, and ongoing adjustments to meet the needs of a growing, global church. Specific attention is paid to the evolving roles, responsibilities, and organizational structures within both the Aaronic and Melchizedek priesthoods. The timeline of adjustments and the associated figures are key to understanding this history. The sources emphasize adaptation as a core element of priesthood order, responding to revelations, growth, and the changing needs of its members.
