Clay County, MO...How close is that to Independance?

MoJules | 5:31 p.m. Oct. 7, 2008

From what I have heard others say, and mapquest, my guess is about 30 miles. This is not the temple that has been prophisied about, but I do not doubt that it is a stepping stone and a way to prepare people in that area.

Wow, a temple in Rome! That is really impressive and definitely another great sign of the times! Who would've thought that could even be logistically possible even 10 years ago?!

No need to start a panic just keep the faith and stand where you are and continue to build the stakes of Zion where you are. This is indeed great news let us not forget to attend the Temples of the Lord where we are to show the Lord we appreciate all that he has given to us.

I hope the one in Rome has good Italian food.

The site is actually closer to Liberty than Independence (just accross the interstate). It is a nice suburb of the city and close to the jail site. It will be great to have a temple to attend when visiting the area.

Forza Italia! How cool, a Roman Temple :0 I can't wait to see the design.

TEMPIO DI ROMA! | 6:34 p.m. Oct. 7, 2008

IL VANGELO RESTORATO IN ITALIA FIORIRA!

It will be great to only have to drive an hour or less to attend the temple instead of 3 1/2 or 4 hours to Omaha, Nauvoo or St. Louis like we have been!! We will be able to get so much more family work done and not have to spend so much time and money traveling!! We are very excited!!!

I served in Villa Belgrano in the Cordoba area with Elder Scott as president and Elder Christofferson. I wonder if they had anything to do with the decision to build a temple there . . . . Either way, it is a great thing. When I was there, there wasn't even a stake in the whole country! Now a temple . . .I'm making my reservations for the dedication now.

Spring Garden? | 7:26 p.m. Oct. 7, 2008

Do they mean Spring GARDEN Street in Philadelphia? Typo?

NO!!!!!!!!! | 7:31 p.m. Oct. 7, 2008

We wanted that temple in Johnson County, Kansas, not in "Misery." Johnson County is so much prettier and nicer than the the other side. This is a mistake! Somebody please tell our church leaders before they waste our tithing money. It should be in Olathe, Kansas! Look for yourselves

SJ Boy | 7:46 p.m. Oct. 7, 2008

Yes, it's at Spring Garden and Broad. Great location with a subway stop and parking nearby.

Re: NO!!!! | 7:47 p.m. Oct. 7, 2008

If I have to choose between where a prophet thinks the temple should go and where you think it should go, I'll go with the prophet. While temples are typically in nice communities, it's up to the Lord where they need to be built.

Does anyone know of the location of the Phoenix Arizona temple? I have heard of a couple locations, but nothing definitive.
Thanks, in advance.

Re: NO!!! | 7:58 p.m. Oct. 7, 2008

I am also a Johnson County resident in the Olathe Stake or should I say transplant from what everyone calls here "the west" and I must say that I am just simply thrilled to even have a temple that will be nearby. I think it will be a wonderful blessing to have one as close as we will have one regardless of location. However, being not from the KC area, I do agree that I would rather live in Kansas but again, I am thrilled that there will be one nearby.

re: no!!! | 8:48 p.m. Oct. 7, 2008

Shoal Creek development is a beautiful location, just a nice as any place in Johnson County! It will be so close to liberty and that great "jail temple". I can only imagine if Joseph Smith ever thought that a temple would be on the hill above liberty.

Jesse | 8:55 p.m. Oct. 7, 2008

Oh my goodness. Be happy you have a temple and quite bickering about location. Everything I read on these posts are things that embarrass me about the Church. Those on this post and others should be a shame. You make a mockery of your fellow members.

PhillyUtahn | 9:01 p.m. Oct. 7, 2008

Moved out to Philly a year ago. The church is growing very quick out here! We have recent converts in our ward who are ecstatic about this temple because the trip to DC is difficult without a vehicle. Now we'll be able to ride a bus or the subway. What an absolute blessing to the saints of the City of Brotherly Love! I just wonder what size of temple will be built!!!

JoCoKS Mormon | 9:20 p.m. Oct. 7, 2008

To: NO!!!!!!!!! I have lived in Jo.Co. more than 30 years and am a diehard Jayhawk fan but I find it very sad that someone would whine and moan about a temple being on the other side of a man made line. From the farthest point in JoCo this temple will be less than 50 miles away and for the bulk of the population will be about 30 miles. We are talking about a Temple of the Lord here not a race track or similar development...good heavens!!
