Quorum.—This term has acquired a special meaning among the Latter-day Saints. It signifies, not alone a majority or such a number of persons of any organized body as is requisite for authoritative action, but the organized body itself. The Church regards a quorum as "a council or an organized body of the priesthood," e. g. an elders' quorum; the quorum of the Twelve Apostles, etc. (See Standard Dictionary.)
