Last Dispensation Apostles

[MrNirom]

Is there a list anywhere that shows who the Apostles of the Church have been in this dispensation?

Some once told me that one of them was 12 years old... Is this true?

Thanks.

Since the restoration?

Since the restoration?

I would say at least in Joseph's day. I am just trying to prove to someone that a 12 year old boy was never called as an Apostle of the Church.

[Hemidakota]

Never happened. There has been 95 apostles called since his day that I am aware of...

The 96th was just ordained this year:

Yesterday Elder D. Todd Christofferson became the 96th Apostle to serve in the Twelve in this dispensation. He will be ordained an Apostle and given all the priesthood keys conferred upon the other 14 prophets, seers, and revelators—Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ.--May 2008 Ensign Magazine, General Conference Issue

Ah.. good news.. The person that said he objected to our idea of Apostles being restored and being 12 years old.. wrote me back and apoligized saying it should be Deacons.. not Apostles.

So I appreciate everyone's input!

Senior moment....Elder Christofferson.

Now, who was the youngest ordained Apostle from the restoration? Anyone? LOL

[sixpacktr]

Pres Monson has to rank up there somewhere. Wasn't he only in his 30s when he was ordained? Of course the Prophet Joseph would have been younger (was he ever ordained as an apostle? I know he was the 1st Elder and then President, but was he ever ordained as an apostle?).

[Hemidakota]

It is assumed that Joseph Smith would be the youngest but I cannot see anyone else outside of President Monson that was called before 32-years old.

[rameumptom]

Try President Grant. He was in his early 20s.

[Hemidakota]

25-years old

So far Ram has it [out of 96 Apostles]

Born Nov. 22, 1856; ordained an Apostle, Oct. 16, 1882; became President of the Council of Twelve Apostles, Nov. 23, 1916; chosen and ordained President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Nov. 23, 1918.

Joseph's cousin, George A. Smith, was 21 years old when called an apostle. He was the youngest apostle of this dispensation. George later served as a counselor to BY and was the grandfather of his namesake and later church president.

Is Grandpa still with us?

[Hemidakota]

George Albert Smith was ordained an apostle at thirty-three years of age on October 8, 1903, by President Joseph F. Smith.

I hope so. I just emailed him a couple days ago, and he's responded on occasion. Whether he's on LDS.Net is another thing....

That's good to hear...His site was down about a year ago, and I feared he had crossed the veil....
