"In the early twentieth century, then apostle David O. McKay instituted a movement within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church/Mormons) to unify church programs and curriculum and in order to bring those elements better under the control of priesthood leaders. This movement, called “correlation,” cemented institutional hierarchical priesthood structures in the church that produced modern Mormonism. The LDS Church defines priesthood as “the power and authority of God.” While the goal of correlation is to create a common understanding of church teaching and practice, scholar Greg Prince asserts that “priesthood… is generally misunderstood by both church members and outsiders.” This chapter explores the wide variety of ways in which church members do understand priesthood, depending on a number of factors which impact their beliefs."
