Doctrine and Covenants D&C 107:78

"the most important business of the church, and the most difficult cases of the church, inasmuch as there is not satisfaction upon the decision of the bishop or judges, it shall be handed over and carried up unto the council of the church, before the Presidency of the High Priesthood."

Doctrine and Covenants D&C 102:2

"The high council was appointed by revelation for the purpose of settling important difficulties which might arise in the church, which could not be settled by the church or the bishop's council to the satisfaction of the parties."

Intra-D&C. Shared: a case the bishop's level cannot settle to the satisfaction of those involved, carried upward. Divergences: 102:2 names the high council as receiving body and the bishop's council below it; 107:78 names the Presidency of the High Priesthood and 'the bishop or judges'. 107:80 adds a terminus the minutes do not state. Registered as allusion: the concepts align, the wording does not run together.
