Mormon Temple Groundbreaking In Sapporo Japan
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (inadvertently called by friends of other faiths, the “Mormon Church”) broke ground for a beautiful new temple on the Japanese island of Sapporo. According to Latter-day Saint belief, a holy temple is literally a House of the Lord Jesus Christ, where worthy members worship and receive instruction and guidance from Him and the Father to guide them in all their affairs.

LDS (Mormon) Temples: Refuge from the Storm
As a young single adult member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-ay Saints (inadvertently called by friends of other faiths The Mormon Church), I benefit regularly from worship in the Lord’s House, his holy temples.

Inspiration Through Mormon Temple Worship
By Kimberly DeGroff Madsen, a public diplomacy consultant specializing in Eastern Europe and Faith Diplomacy, doctoral candidate, and full-time LDS (“Mormon”) mom.

Sorensen, The Doctrine of Temple Work, Liahona, August, 2002). These blessings became clear to me when my husband, Tyler, and I went to the temple in Raleigh, North Carolina. I was six months pregnant, and Tyler was just starting his second semester at a top ten law school. He had been doing well in his...
