Released As A Seventy
| QUOTE |
| SECOND QUORUM OF THE SEVENTY RELEASES See https://www.deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,650195360,00.html SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - Eight members of the Second Quorum of the Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were released from their service during the Saturday afternoon session of the Church's 176th Semiannual General Conference. Members of the Seventy are responsible for administering the work of the Church throughout the world under the direction of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve. |
As I read the above one of the thoughts that came to me was what it might have felt like to be released from such a engrossing calling. I imagine it must be much like how it is to serve a full-time mission and then suddenly 'time is up' and you are on your way home. Of course the way one handles it depends on how they view callings in the first place.

Released As A Seventy Studies Doctrine Mormon
By the way, does anyone know the specific "term" for a seventy if there is one, and if it differs for which quorum of the seventy? Since the 1st and 2nd quorums of seventy are considered General Authorities, or 4th and 5th in command, (sort of), do they get released ever?

The term is indeed "Seventy", is one of the offices in the Melchizedek priesthood.

Yes, the seventies from the first quorum serve until age 70, then they are given emeritus status, the second quorum instead serve for a period of three to five years. All of them are considered General Authorities.

Yes, they do. They are not consider General Authorities but "Area Authority Seventies" they serve for a period of time in the area in which they live.
Hope it helps,
LDS
