The Role of the Teacher in the School of the Prophets
In the School of the Prophets, the role of a Teacher may feel very different from what many people are used to in traditional religious settings. Instead of focusing on strict rules or telling people exactly what to believe, the Teacher helps guide others in learning how to seek God for themselves.
The Endowment of the Deacon
“And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.” -1 Timothy 1:12
On May 4, 1842 Joseph Smith Jr. introduced on the second floor of his Red Brick Store in Nauvoo, Illinois what some call the Nauvoo Endowment to nine Brethren: James Adams, Patriarch Hyrum Smith, Bishops Newel K. Whitney and George Miller, and Apostles Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball and Willard Richards.
