Personal or health-related reasons may make it impossible for ministers to perform all of the duties associated with their ministry. However, it may still be possible for them to serve in a ministry they have previously held. In these situations, the Apostle can issue a ministerial mandate allowing them to exercise their previously held ministry. In such cases, ministers will no longer be permitted to exercise the higher ministerial authority that had been conferred upon them. The Apostle can once again expand the ministerial mandate, provided that the reasons that were preventing them from exercising the full scope of their mandate are no longer present.
