Section 21 - a podcast by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Fayette, New York, 6 April 1830 (see History of the Church, 1:74–79). This revelation was given at the organization of the Church, on the date named, in the home of Peter Whitmer, Sr. Six men, who had previously been baptized, participated. By unanimous vote these persons expressed their desire and determination to organize, according to the commandment of God (see section 20). They also voted to accept and sustain Joseph Smith, Jr., and Oliver Cowdery as the presiding officers of the Church. With the laying on of hands, Joseph then ordained Oliver an elder of the Church, and Oliver similarly ordained Joseph. After administration of the sacrament, Joseph and Oliver laid hands upon the participants individually for the bestowal of the Holy Ghost and for the confirmation of each as a member of the Church.
