The leadership over time · 1830–1844
Every presiding office as a lane — and the moment the single line divided.
Each row is one person's tenure in a presiding office, from the organization of the church through the martyrdom of Joseph Smith. Color and the end-cap icon show how the tenure ended. Drag the slider or press Play to watch the structure fill and empty — note the collapse of the Quorum of the Twelve and the Missouri presidency in 1838. Hover any bar for detail.
