bytor2112 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 ROME, ITALY – LDS Church growth in this city, home of the Vatican, has been increasing in recent years. Many LDS members were unaware of this growth and were audibly surprised at the recent announcement in General Conference of a new LDS temple to be built in this city, long a strong-hold of the Catholic Church.more here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesa Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Will the Rome temple be more extravagant in appearance, than say the more modern one's which are very bland? Will it be... more 'Salt Lake'-like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemidakota Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 The Rome Italy Temple will be built on a portion of a 15-acre site in northeast Rome near the circular road (beltway) that surrounds the city. The picturesque country site sits on the outskirts of the city at a freeway interchange.http://www.lds.net/forums/lds-gospel-discussion/14917-rome-mormon-temple-new-website.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesa Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I do hope it's a little more creative and original. A lot of them seem to follow a template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moksha Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Will the Rome temple be more extravagant in appearance, than say the more modern one's which are very bland? Will it be... more 'Salt Lake'-like? A recreation of the Temple of Athena would make it an appreciated sight in the Eternal City. At least matching the local religious styles would not allow it to be an unwelcome eyesore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prisonchaplain Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I do hope it's a little more creative and original. A lot of them seem to follow a template. I found an artist's rendition of the new Rome temple. It's very unique--though I think they'll need to lose the one flag. http://tatumweb.com/blog/pix/ag-hq-big.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hordak Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 well how many here can say the Pope was at their temple wedding? I can!!I can beat that. My wife and I are friends with Jesus. (Not in the typical way ) but in a sit down and break bread way. What many fail to realize is he is very fluent in Spanish:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What many fail to realize is he is very fluent in Spanish:DI think I saw him at the Temple once - in a white coverall with his name on it and carrying tools.

miztrniceguy Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 if you saw the pope in the temple, you were probably in SLC until a couple years ago...she would have been about 85, and 4'10 maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
