And this Council shall exist as a part of the Order of the Ministry, consisting of twenty-five brothers and twenty-five sisters; and the First Presidency shall be their presidency. And these shall be brothers and sisters, one to another and to the World, working in the Order of the Ministry under the direction of the First Presidency, being sent forth to represent them and the God that has called them unto all the world. And these shall endeavor to proclaim peace and unity in the face of adversity, to act as representatives of the Living Constitution of the Kingdom of God, to be a force of peace and order in the midst of chaos; to assist in the Works of the Lord as the Saints and those that would call themselves Saints, move from the creed of the Church to the Kingdom of God, where all that desire shall find a home and a place to dwell to find rest for their souls.” -Doctrines of the Saints 50a:3-6
This meeting is by invitation for members and perspective members of the Council of Fifty.
