Hello again, everyone! It has been a tradition on this blog for me to provide updates on apostolic data every 7 weeks. Having last done so on Sunday, May 11, it is time to publish the newest such data. As with every two-part update, the first part contains updated data about the age and tenure length records for all 17 Church Presidents, in addition to updated information on the tenure lengths for each of the 28 Presidents of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.The first document likewise notes information on the tenure length rankings for three sets of apostolic groups: the longest-serving First Presidencies (with the current First Presidency now moving up on that list), the longest-serving groups of members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and groups of all ordained apostles (the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles), and an overview of when each of those current groups will move up on the list. As previously noted, the current Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and apostolic group will not join that list until late next year, assuming no other apostles pass away between now and then.
Meanwhile, the second part of today's update shows the long-form and decimal ages for the members of the current First Presidency, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and the same data for the combined First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, in addition to the average ages of each group and apostolic nonagenarians (with 3 of the current 15 apostles being on that list), and a final table showing the remaining time between today and when each of the other 12 apostles will become nonagenarians and join that list.
With these apostolic data updates coming every 7 weeks, the next update will be posted here on the morning of Sunday, February 2, 2025 (which will be the first such update in 2025).
Hopefully, this post is of interest to you all. Again, I offer an open invitation to ask anyone who has any questions about those documents to ask them here.
Stay tuned here for my coverage of the latest updates from the Church News, Newsroom, and Church of Jesus Christ Temples sites. I’ll be sure to pass word of those along to you all as soon as I learn about them. In the meantime, that does it for now. All comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated on any post at any time, as long as all such feedback is made per the established guidelines. I hope any of you who would like to share anything will take your opportunity to “sound off” in the comments below. If you liked what you read here and would like to stay informed of newly added posts and comments, please subscribe to receive the applicable updates.
Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.
Hello again, everyone! Today, the Church News has shared the following updates: an introduction to new GA Seventy Elder Pedro X. Larreal, the latest edition of "In Casse You Missed It: Week in Review" recaps the top 9 developments reported by the Church News within the last week; with this week's "Come, Follow Me" focusing on D&C 89-92, read what Church leaders have saidabout those sections; and, as mentioned by Scott Shipley in the threads of the previous post, the Church News has also carried this report on the dedication of the Farmington New Mexico Temple.
ReplyDeleteAs Scott also mentioned in the threads of the previous post, the new Executive Director of the Temple Department has been confirmed to be Elder Steven R. Bangerter, who had been serving in the former North America Central Area presidency before being designated to lead the Temple Department. So we now have that information confirmed. Hopefully, the Church updates the necessary General Authority Seventy biographies soon so we can find out who is leading the other departments of the Church for which leadership has changed. My thanks once again to you all.
And the Newsroom has shared this report on the Farmington New Mexico Temple dedication. My thanks once again to you all.
ReplyDeleteI have looked and only found one construction status update for today: on the Fort Worth Texas Temple. My thanks once again to you all.
