[Teachldsseminary] Survey:Priesthood Authority cards

[Kim]

Lena, 

I recently sent to Salt Lake for my hubby's line.  When we received it there
was a letter included with it.  Apparently, there is no line of authority
recorded for Aaronic Priesthood offices, according the First Presidency.
Here are the quotes:  

"Based on direction from the First Presidency, Priesthood Line of Authority
is recorded for Melchizedek Priesthood conferral (usually ordination to the
office of Elder) and ordination to the office of High Priest. . . "  

Another document enclosed states:
". . . Priesthood line of authority is not recorded for Aaronic Priesthood
offices."

This was news for my hubby and I as well.

This is a rather late reply. In my class of 14 students 8 are boys. I know
that 5 have their authority lines. I suspect that 2 more do and only 1 that
I don't have any clue if he has his or not.  I co-teach and happen to be
there when the other teacher brought this up.  All the boys that have their
were given their lineage cards from their fathers.  My husband's father is a
non-member and my husband was given his lineage card is that not the
practice anymore?

  We have been discussing priesthood authority the past couple of days and
today I asked the young men in my class if they had their priesthood line of
authority cards. None of the 9 YM did! I thought when you received the
priesthood, you received the a card from whomever conferred the priesthood
upon you. My boys said "they don't do that anymore." All my boys are from
one ward, is it just their ward, or is this not practiced anymore?
