Jackson County temple lot saga
A small white church sits at the corner of a large landscaped lot in Independence, Mo. It is the international headquarters of the Church of Christ (Temple Lot). Joseph Smith dedicated this spot in 1831 for a temple to be built to usher in the millennial reign of Christ.
The Temple Lot church tried to build that temple 80 years ago.
"All factions of Mormonism believe . . . that this is sacred space and this is where it's going to happen," R. Jean Addams, an independent historian, said.
