David Allan Bednar (born June 15, 1952) was
sustained on October 2, 2004 as a member of the
Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the youngest
man named to that body since Dallin H. Oaks in
1984. He was ordained on October 7,2004 by
President Gordon B. Hinckley. He fills the vacancy
occasioned by the death of Elder David B. Haight
in July 2004.

Formerly a church stake president and regional
representative in Arkansas while he was an
associate dean at the University of Arkansas, in
1997 Elder Bednar became president of what was
then Ricks College and is now Brigham Young
University-Idaho (BYU-I). At the same time, he was
named to the Fifth Quorums of the Seventy|Quorum
of the Seventy.  In 2002, while serving as
President of BYU-I, a prominent new building on
the BYU-I campus was named after President Gordon
B. Hinckley.  In the history of Ricks/BYU-I, no
building had ever before been named in honor of a
currently serving Church President.  

He was also the first Apostle (Mormonism)|Apostle
since Oaks not to have served previously as a
General Authority of the Church. As succession to
the presidency is by seniority as an Apostle and
Elder Bednar is more than eleven years younger
than any of the others, there is some speculation
that he may become President of the Church at a
future date.
