Significance of the Aaronic priesthood in mainstream Christianity
The Jewish priesthood of the Temple period is, for most Christians, primarily of historical interest. In the book of Exodus, God ordained Aaron and his sons Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar to be priests for the Lord. According to the Law, only descendants of Aaron, or Aaronites, could be priests. The priest's role was to intercede before God on behalf of the nation of Israel. Within many Christian traditions and beliefs, the new covenant established by Jesus, and later the destruction of the temple, brought this period to an end.
The priesthood also has been invested with metaphorical significance in Christianity. Jesus is considered to be the culmination of the High Priesthood. The Jewish priesthood has therefore been seen as a
type for the priesthood of Christ, as the Jewish sacrifice was of Christ's sacrifice. By his sacrifice as Priest he reconciles God to men, fulfilling the old law. Cross, F.L. (1974). The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 1122–1123.

Deacon and Teacher are short, poorly-sourced articles, and unlikely to be much more than that. Since they are two degrees of the Aaronic preisthood, which isn't particularly long either, a merge seems appropriate. p b p 20:26, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
@ Jgstokes: Do you have a reliable source that says Presiding Bishop is an "office" of the Aaronic priesthood? Otherwise, having those items on the page would not follow WP:RS. Presiding Bishop could instead be considered a leadership calling. (The same goes for several instances on the Presiding Bishop (LDS Church) and Presiding bishop pages, another on Bishop (Latter Day Saints), as well as calling the Presiding Bishopric a "quorum" on the Quorum (Latter Day Saints) page. These claims all lack reliable sources.) Altanner1991 ( talk) 03:16, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
Leaving this in the article per NPOV but would like to know other opinions. Altanner1991 ( talk) 15:51, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
