The attendees of The "Swedish Rescue" fireside ask the following question:
[In reading] about the priesthood and the blacks.
- David O. McKay .... he had made OK that they should have the priesthood. But three of the apostles were not there and when they come back, they said no.
- Is this true that there were some apostles that went against the question to give the priesthood to the Blacks?
- Mark E Peterson....talks a lot about the blacks and the pre-existence and they are damned and so on because they were black.

Answer: There is a period of studying it out in the mind prior to receiving revelation.
David O. McKay blacks and the priesthood. The June 1978 revelation has a history to it like all revelations. You have this period of time in which saints are studying it out in the mind and they eventually flower as revelation.

- Question: Why did some of the apostles disagree about lifting the priesthood ban?
Answer: We don't know.
It’s possible. I think it would be entirely consistent with the way things are done. Does that make sense?
