In the LDS Church, some offices in the Priesthood have minimum age requirements:
- A deacon must be at least 12 years old
- A teacher must be at least 14 years old
- A priest must be at least 16 years old
- An elder must be at least 18 years old
I am wondering, what is the history of these age requirements?
