Exclusive Insight: How The Church Is Building Temples In 2025 - Jacob Wall-Smith

[@forallthesaintspod]

I hope you enjoyed this episode covering the development of the Birmingham, England Temple and peaking behind the curtain of Temple-building. Sticking with the Church over here in the UK next week we have a Branch President from a small, Northern, coastal branch. He shares his experiences leading the congregation and recounts an extraordinary week where an Apostle showed up unannounced! Subscribe so you don't miss!

I appreciate your channel As an American on the other side of the pond it is very curious.

I may be American; however, I am very British. My Great great great Grandfather, Lord Michael Houghton, proposed to Florence Nightingale.

This was quite a delightful interview to listen in on. A little insight into how things are done is always welcome.

Speaking at the Monticello Utah Temple, groundbreaking in 1997, Elder Dennis B. Neuenschwander said, " "There is no small dimension to what occurs here ... All the essential ordinances of and for the salvation of God's children that are performed in the largest of the temples will be performed also in the smallest of temples. . . . There is no small and there is no large when it comes to the temple of the Lord. The ordinances stand at the heart of the temple. It is in the breadth and depth of those ordinances in our lives that create the true dimensions of the temple", "Out of Small things: Groundbreaking for the Monticello Utah Temple" pg.1

Hi Ben, I hv to say this was soo interesting and exciting. I'm a little deflated about no space to contemplate etc. I haven't checked what plans are available to public. If its going to be so small will there be accommodation or booking nearest hotel? Living in Wales its about an hour less than London; which is good. It doesn't seem as if Wales is included in having a Temple right now, who knows tho, hope springs eternal😊

I’m pretty sure there is going to be patron housing but best to double check that
