Hello again, everyone! As most of you are almost certainly aware, I have provided updates on the latest apostolic data (specifically relating to lifespan or tenure length milestones) roughly every seven weeks. Having last done so on Sunday October 18, I wanted to post that information again today. But I have overhauled that process. Let me explain what that means. There is a lot of data and information to update prior to publishing those updates on this blog. What I have been doing for a majority of the last two years has been updating three or more files, then compiling the relevant information and data into two other separate files, publishing only the latter two files on this blog.
But as I thought about the acceleration of the work of the Church, which will correspond to an increase in the amount of information reported here, I have come to the determination to streamline the process. What I have done is consolidated the content in the three documents from which I compiled the data into two separate ones, and rather than publishing a report on the compiled data, I am posting the links to the two documents with the data in question.
The new documents show tables with all the written information I previously shared. In being able to share updated versions of those new documents now every seven weeks, that wil simplify the process of preparing and publishing the data here. I'm a little surprised I didn't think of doing that sooner. Hopefully having the data in table form will make it easier to explore than the written-out reports on this data have been.
As far as the new updates are concerned,the first part contains updated data about the age and tenure length records for all 17 Church Presidents, information on the tenure length records for each of the 28 Presidents of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and information on the longest-serving First Presidencies, Quorums of the Twelve Apostles, and groups of all ordained apostles, which will be relevant for our current apostolic groups beginning next year.
And the second part shows the long-form and decimal ages for the members of the current First Presidency, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and the apostolic groups overall, in addition to the average ages of each group and apostolic nonagenarians (with 2 of the current 15 apostles being on that list, and the timing noted for when each of the other 13 apostles will join that list).
I am grateful for the inspiration I received today to streamline the process of getting this updated information to you all here. Hopefully this shared data will be of interest to you all, and again, I offer an open invitation to anyone who has any questions about those documents to ask them here. I will, of course, continue to monitor all Church news updates and temple developments, and will do my level best to bring word of those to you all as I become aware of all such reports.
That does it for now. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time, as long as such comments are made in accordance with the established guidelines.
