	Christian Priesthood and Ecclesial Unity: Some Theological and Canonical Considerations
		By asserting that priesthood is not to be regarded as isolated, but as an event which must be taken in close connection with the fact itself of Christ, we mean that the primary content of priesthood is neither individualistic and functional, in the narrow sense of the term, nor a moralistic but essentially Christological.
		Christian priesthood and the priesthood of Christ belong together and should never be conceived as individually apart, given that the Holy Spirit fills with His presence the Church and manifests to all Christ.
		Priesthood is indeed intrinsically related to the eucharistic sacrifice, which is the central empowering event and the source of unity of the ecclesial community.

	Mormons, Blacks, and the Priesthood: The Issue of Race in the Mormon Church
		Although several fls were ordained to the priesthood in the 1830s, there is no evidence that Joseph Smith authorized new ordinations in the 1840s, and between 1847 and 1852 Church leaders maintained that fls should be denied the priesthood because of their lineage.
		However, the limitations on the priesthood were a source of great pain for fl members of the Church, and the burden of that unexplained past policy continues to weigh upon many fl members and fl investigators of the Church.
		Priesthood leaders are instructed to follow the policy of carefully interviewing all candidates for ordination to either the Aaronic or the Melchizedek Priesthood to insure that they meet the established standards for worthiness.

	PRIESTHOOD in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)

		The Aaronic priesthood had nothing in common with that of Egypt; it claimed to be of divine origin, and its duties, functions and powers in no way contradict the claim.

		Hence, the lesser priesthood was called the Aaronic Priesthood, after Aaron, but a portion of that priesthood was also called the levitical priesthood because all those to whom it was given belonged to the tribe of Levi.
		Beginning with the reorganization of the priesthood in 1877, the Church established the current practice of ordaining boys to the Aaronic Priesthood during their early teenage years, organizing them at the ward level into priesthood quorums by age group and priesthood office, and advancing them periodically to higher offices and eventually to the higher priesthood.
		Over the Aaronic Priesthood, the "president is to be a bishop; for this is one of the duties of this priesthood" (D&C 107:88), but bishops are also ordained high priests of the Melchizedek Priesthood because they preside and are not literal descendants of Aaron.

	Priesthood
		This priesthood of the New Law is really three kinds of priesthood; all, however, take their origin from and depend on the Incarnation of the Son of God.
		Finally, beyond the ordained ministerial priesthood, which is unique and possessed only by those who receive the sacrament of orders, there is a true although subordinate sense in which all the baptized faithful belong to the priesthood of Christ.
		Hence, if ever the priesthood needed support—of the priests, first of all, of their fellow-priests, and of all the faithful through prayer and sacrifice—it is today.

	PRESIDENCY AND PRIESTHOOD
		To argue that the Aaronic priesthood came into existence in the time of Aaron simply because it bears his name, would be to assume that the high priesthood originated with Melchisedec because it bears his name.

		The priesthood was not limited to a given time and then to cease, but was to be continued with the true order of worship.

	Joseph Smith OK'D PRIESTHOOD FOR WOMEN
		Michael Quinn says founder Joseph Smith taught that women receive the faith's priesthood as part of a sacred temple rite, but the doctrine is virtually unknown to the modern church and its male leadership.
		Quinn, a Mormon, said there is compelling documentary evidence that Smith gave women priesthood power in the temple "endowment" ritual in which women are anointed to become queens and priestesses.
		They believe the "keys" to the priesthood came to Smith through heavenly intermediaries from Jesus Christ and have been passed on to the church's 12 successive presidents.

		The second Priesthood is called the Priesthood of Aaron, because it was conferred upon Aaron and his seed, throughout all their generations.
		Why it is called the lesser Priesthood, is because it is an appendage to the greater, or the Melchizedek Priesthood, and has power in administering outward ordinances.
		The power and authority of the lesser, or Aaronic Priesthood, is to hold the keys of the ministering of angels, and to administer in outward ordinances—the letter of the gospel—the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, agreeably to the covenants and commandments.”

		It was my understanding that the kings in Israel did not have priesthood authority, otherwise, Saul wouldn't have been punished for making an offering without Samuel, and the other one toward the end that I can't think of his name right now.
		So as we talk about priesthood authority it is very important to not get set in our ways thinking we know something is "DOCTRINE" and can not be changed in a different time or dispensation that it was in another time.
		I have said that only one man at a time on the earth holds the keys of this sealing power of the priesthood, but he may, and does, delegate power to others, and they officiate under his direction in the temples of the Lord.
