At the April 1995 general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), church president Gordon B. Hinckley announced the creation of a new leadership position known as the area authority.〔Gordon B. Hinckley, (“This Work Is Concerned with People” ), ''Ensign'', May 1995, p. 51.〕 In 1997, area authorities were renamed area authority seventies and ordained to the office of seventy. The church announced that these seventies would become members of a Quorum of the Seventy based upon the geographic region to which they were assigned.〔Gordon B. Hinckley, (“May We Be Faithful and True” ), ''Ensign'', May 1997, p. 4.〕 Later, the title "area authority seventy" was shortened to area seventy, which is the title currently in use. The area seventies serve in the various geographic regions of the world, called ''areas'', and are assigned to quorums based on the area in which they serve. The following quorums are composed of area seventy in the listed areas:〔(“Seventh and Eighth Quorums of the Seventy Announced" ), ''Ensign'', July 2005, p. 74.〕 * Third Quorum: Africa Southeast, Africa West, Europe, and Europe East areas. * Fourth Quorum: Central America, Mexico, South America Northwest, and Caribbean areas. * Fifth Quorum: Idaho, North America Northwest, North America West, Utah North, Utah Salt Lake City, and Utah South areas. * Sixth Quorum: North America Central, North America Northeast, North America Southeast, North America Southwest areas. * Seventh Quorum: Brazil and South America South areas. * Eighth Quorum: Asia, Asia North, Pacific, and Philippines areas. Below is a list of the 241 currently serving area seventies, as of October 2015. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of area seventies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
