QDear 100 Hour Board,

I have been in several wards that split large Elders' Quorums in two but not Relief Societies (even if, as in my current married ward, there are equal numbers of men and women). Do they ever split Relief Societies, and if not why not?

ADear halvesies,

They sure do.   My freshman ward (in Helaman Halls) had two Elders Quorums and three Relief Societies.   (We had two halls of guys and three of girls, and each was its own organization.)

Doctrine and Covenants 107 outlines the maximum number of members priesthood quorums can have, but there is no scriptural guideline about the size of a Relief Society.   In Section 107 the following quorum sizes are allotted:

Deacons: 12
Teachers: 24
Priests: 48
Elders: 96
