Quorums (celestial)
Occurrences: 27
First Reference: 1st Endowment 8:1
But in the kingdom of God did there gather unto Salem of Merigoth, the Council of Elohim from all Jeruel, and unto that exalted council were gathered also from all the celestial worlds of Kolob the quorums of Korimash, Terrigai, Lorridoth, Borgolie, Marridon, Yoshliheim, Sarrijah, Xandori, Vangeleia, Shemhora, Shimbeth, and Kimjaroo.
See: Celestial Kingdom, Elohim, Houses (Seven), Kolob
Summary: In the Celestial Kingdom of Heaven, each of the Seven Councils of Light are organized into seven Houses, with each House containing within itself twelve quorums (1:8:1).
Azrael’s Commentary — Elohim
[...] Each of these seven Houses contains within itself twelve quorums. These quorums carry out all the duties, functions and responsibilities of each House within their given mandate. These twelve quorums are (1:8:1):
Korimash Borgolie Sarrijah Shemhora
Terrigai Marridon Xandori Shimbeth
Lorridoth Yoshliheim Vangeleia Kimjaroo
These twelve quorums possess orders of ascension, and these orders of ascension are derived from the order of the House in which they are found. For instance, the quorum of Vangeleia is represented in all the Seven Houses of the Elohim, from the lowest to the highest. This means that the quorum of Vangeleia possesses seven distinct bodies within itself, for each House has a quorum called Vangeleia.
On a personal note, I have always been fascinated by the way everyone knows their job, and everyone gets along with everyone else. I have personally observed the seven quorums of Vangeleia get together as a whole and was very impressed with their spirit of camaraderie.
Within the Council of Elohim, all proposals of actions begin first in the twelve quorums. Each quorum within a specific House discusses and votes on the proposal. When all twelve quorums within the seven Houses have discussed and voted on an issue, then at that time a general convocation is assembled and the entire Council of the Elohim votes in open session. Each vote of each member is recorded, and afterwards the resolution is given to the Ahman of the Council of Elohim. It is the responsibility of the Ahman to carry out the new resolution of the Council. Once passed, the resolution takes upon itself the mantle of Elohanu, the will of God. The Ahman, in carrying out the Elohanu, takes upon himself, or herself, the title of God.

[...] Once when I was in the Celestial Kingdom for a conference with the quorum of Kimjaroo (one of the twelve quorums which make up the Council of Elohim), I was walking towards the temple of Sabaoth when I saw three Cherubim trying to get a rise out of one of the seraphs which guarded the court to the temple...
