1. High priest

   In most denominations of the Latter Day Saint movement, a high priest is a member of the priesthood within the Melchizedek priesthood order. High priests are typically older and more seasoned leaders within the priesthood. The term derives in part from the Epistle to the Hebrews which describes Jesus as "a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.". Movement founder Joseph Smith, Jr. ordained the first high priests on June 3, 1831. High priests are organized into quorums. The first president of a high priests quorum of the church was Joseph Smith, Jr.'s younger brother, Don Carlos Smith.
