👉 Demissionary is a term used in the context of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which refers to individuals who have been ordained as apostles or prophets by the church. They are often referred to as "prophets" in some denominations because they hold the highest rank and status within the church hierarchy. Demissionary members typically serve a term of 20 years before being officially removed from the priesthood, which is considered a temporary period of probation.
