The Seventy do not receive additional priesthood keys, but with each assignment they receive from the First Presidency or the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, they are delegated authority to accomplish the assignment given.
The General Authority Seventies meet in regular quorum meetings. Those assigned at Church headquarters meet weekly. These quorum meetings may consist of doctrinal and Church history instruction and training and, from time to time, counsel from the Twelve Apostles and the Presidency of the Seventy.
There are currently members of these six quorums. Members of these quorums are faithful brethren who live throughout the world. Area Seventies live at home and serve on a Church-service basis, much like a bishop or a stake president, for a designated number of years. They receive assignments similar to those received by General Authority Seventies, with the exception that they serve in their local areas rather than worldwide.
These six quorums are organized geographically. The Fifth Quorum members are in the western parts of the United States and Canada, and the members of the Sixth Quorum live in the central, southern, and eastern parts of the United States and Canada and in the Caribbean.
Members of these six quorums meet in quorum meetings annually in Salt Lake City during April general conference and also annually somewhere in the designated geographical part of the Church where they live. The Presidency of the Seventy presides over all members of these Quorums of the Seventy. General Authorities, who must often travel on conference assignments on Sunday , fast and receive the sacrament weekly on Thursdays.
Hinckley announced the creation of a new leadership position known as the area authority. In , area authorities were renamed area authority seventies and ordained to the office of seventy.
Later, the title "area authority seventy" was shortened to area seventy, which is the title currently in use. What Happened to the Church? The Apostles were killed during a time when the entire Church was being persecuted. Nero, a Roman emperor, was the first to make laws to exterminate Christians, in about A. Under his reign, thousands were cruelly killed.
Church members become candidates for excommunication as they apostatize from the teachings of the Church. Gross iniquity involves such transgressions as murder, adultery, sexual perversion , or serious civil court conviction such as a felony. The President of the Church is the only person authorized to exercise all of those priesthood keys.
Temple presidents, mission presidents, stake presidents, bishops, and quorum presidents also hold priesthood keys that allow them to preside over and direct the work they have been commissioned to do. That high standard for the exercise of all priesthood authority is most important in the family.
