Yes, it's possible to have both a ward and a stake calling at the same time, and a high priest can serve as a counselor to a Sunday School president who's an elder.AgyapongFA wrote:Hi,wish to be clear on this issue:could one be serving as a counsellor in stake sunday school,and yet a counsellor in the ward,(a high priest with stake calling,yet a counsellor to an elder in ward sunday school?)

Re: Serving in both ward and stake callings
I can't find anything that says it's not allowed. The Handbook indicated that "where possible" a member should only hold one calling (Handbook 2: 19.1.1), While having multiple callings is not that usual, I find holding two callings of such high level to be uncommon - except in transition.AgyapongFA wrote:Hi,wish to be clear on this issue:could one be serving as a counsellor in stake sunday school,and yet a counsellor in the ward,(a high priest with stake calling,yet a counsellor to an elder in ward sunday school?)
