In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, all callings are given through inspiration received by the Presiding Authority. They are then set apart to that calling. A release from that calling may be requested by the person or through further inspiration from the said Authority.

A Bishop or Branch President may serve in the position for many years until released by a General Authority.

In a Ward of say 400 members it is possible for every one to hold some position. Even Primary children may give a short talk in sacrament meeting.

The rules and restrictions dealing with the positions of the local church are contained within the United Methodist Discipline. The rules are revised at regular meetings held on a national basis every 4 years.
