List Notes
This list only includes individuals who have served in the Quorum. This list is organized by current Quorum members, original Quorum members, then by date of appointment to the Quorum, and lastly by last name. Members of the First Presidency, which include the President of the Church and his counselors, are usually not part of the Quorum, and a calling to the First Presidency usually entails leaving the quorum. Exceptions to this rule are noted. It is also possible to be ordained to the priesthood office of Apostle without automatic membership in the Quorum of the Twelve, or to serve in the First Presidency without having been ordained as an Apostle. Such individuals who never became members of the Quorum do not appear in the last section of this page.
The "nationality" column describes the place of birth, and may not correspond to ethnicity.
The begin and end dates document the dates on which an individual first joined (typically corresponding to an ordination date) and last belonged to the Quorum. Strictly speaking, members of the First Presidency usually rejoin the Quorum temporarily whenever a Church President dies, and before a successor is called. For simplicity, this list does not consider these periods in determining the end date. On occasion, a quorum member has left the Quorum for a time and later rejoined it; this is noted where applicable.
Additional positions held appears with each member, including, Counselor in the First Presidency ("First Counselor," etc.), President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles ("Quorum President"), Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles ("Acting Quorum President"), President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("Church President"), and Assistant to the Quorum of the Twelve. Note that a President of the Quorum need not be a member of the Quorum if he belongs to the First Presidency. In such situations, an Acting President may have been called, as noted.

Shall list and founder in the troughs of grass
And none shall speak his name.”
