Sunday prayer circle and council meeting by Joseph Smith in his old home with Hyrum Smith, George Miller, Newel K. Whitney, William Marks, Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, and Willard Richards (BLL, MHBY). Sunday soon became the regular meeting day of the Anointed Quorum when circumstances allowed. (4)
-- Jun 27, 1842
"the council assembledin the evening" at Smith's old home, but this was not the Anointed Quorum, because this meeting induded unendowed men Edward Hunter, Edwin D. Woolley, (Charles or James) Ivins, and Robert Pierce, none of whom entered the 1842-45 Anointed Quorum (BLL, HC, NKW). [EHAT, 52, makes the unlikely suggestion that merely because these unendowed men of no ecclesiastical status were already using the room, a scheduled meeting of the Anointed Quorum adjourned without holding its prayer circle. Smith was not that deferential. (4)
-- After Jun 28, 1842
