Jbs2763 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Am I the only one that made the connection that KC is in JACKSON COUNTY??? Quote
melissar Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 I know. I thought of that when I heard KC is getting a temple. Quote
Wingnut Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 I didn't realize that. That's pretty awesome! I was just wondering why everyone was so excited about the temple in Rome and not any of the others that were announced. Yeah, Catholicism and blah blah blah in Rome, but temples bless the lives of Saints anywhere and everywhere they are. Quote
AngelonaWing Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 My Cousin's son went to Italy on his Mission.. and Kansas City is the place for the temple if it was to be in Independence they would have said so......... Even talking with my Stake President last night after he dropped off my son from Priesthood meeting that We both agreed that We are not ready for a Temple in Independence yet (speaking as a Whole not just the two of us) Quote

Monson said "the greater Kansas City area" which Liberty, and Independence would definatly fall into that bubble Quote
AngelonaWing Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Pres. Monson said "the greater Kansas City area" which Liberty, and Independence would definatly fall into that bubbleI stand corrected..... Your right.... i went back to listen to the Talk about the announcement of the Temples. He did say the Greater Kansas City area...... Quote
miztrniceguy Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Actually KC is in Jackson,Clay, and Platte counties. Quote
Jenamarie Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Within an hour's drive of KC is Independence, Adam-ondi-aman (hope I spelled that one right) and I want to say Far West (the one that had the four corner stones laid). LOTS of significant Church historical sites to choose from in that area! Quote
a-train Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Being here in Kansas City and having heard about the sites that have been pre-selected for various buildings, I can report that one has been in discussion for over a decade now. The particular site is in Johnson County, Kansas. I'll update you if I hear anything more. -a-train Quote
DougKS Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 I live in the Greater KC area (Johnson County, Kansas). The church has purchased land in Johnson County over the past few years. It is in Lenexa, Kansas. We'll have to wait and hear the details. It is doubtful the temple will be built in Jackson County (Independence), Missouri. Quote
abqfriend Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Hi from a Catholic, -I congratulate the LDS Church for the building of more temples. From what I understand about the LDS faith tradition is that Temples are very important to you in carrying out will of your Heavenly Father. I would guess that Temples should be near the people as possible.Yes-Rome is the center of the Catholic Church-but we are world-wide as you are. I hope the membership of the LDS Church will invite the Pope or his representative to tour the Rome Temple before it is dedicated. Rome today is more of a secular city. The fastest growing religion in Italy and the EU is not Catholic or Protestant but---Islam.Welcome fellow members on the spiritual journey of life.I congratulate you in your efforts in carrying out the will of the Heavenly Father as you understand that message.-CarolI didn't realize that. That's pretty awesome! I was just wondering why everyone was so excited about the temple in Rome and not any of the others that were announced.

They generally have an open house for the general public after the temples are built but before they are dedicated. So you too, would be able to go thru at that time. Quote

Palerider Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 We were in the Visitors Center in Independence when it was announced. We just came over from the Temple Lot and heard this. Quote
BenRaines Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 Pale, will that be closer to you than St. Louis? Ben Raines Quote
Jbs2763 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Posted October 6, 2008 We were in the Visitors Center in Independence when it was announced. We just came over from the Temple Lot and heard this.that had to be cool Quote
Jenamarie Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 Hmm. I wonder if it will be in any proximity to the CoC Temple. That would be interesting. (and certainly better looking! ) Quote
miztrniceguy Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 the rumors are flying here -> By Common Consent Temple in Greater Kansas City Area [Poll] Quote
Palerider Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 Pale, will that be closer to you than St. Louis?Ben Raines no....st louis is an hour away....Kansas City is about 4hrs away.... Quote
miztrniceguy Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 for some of us, KC is 2 minutes away !! Quote
Palerider Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 for some of us, kc is 2 minutes away !! lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
bro_rone Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 I'm down in Springfield, MO, so the KC temple is exciting. I wonder if we'll be in that temple district? We're in St. Louis, now. I would imagine they would build the temple in Lenexa, based on the pattern of temple placement in recent history. Lenexa is a "nicer" place in the greater KC area. (I used to live in Lawrence, worked in Lenexa). Anyway, it's really cool. So are the other temples;) Quote
lilered Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 If the Chiefs keep losing, they might be able to put it in the Stadium east parking lot! :^) Quote
