It holds significant historical importance as one of the earliest temples built by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The Kirtland Temple is a sacred place. Several events that took place there—such as the appearance of the Savior to accept the temple and the delivery of priesthood keys by Moses, Elias, and Elijah—are well known. Other activities that took place in the Kirtland Temple are less well known but are still important to understanding the Saints’ temple experiences and what they considered sacred. Today’s Latter-day Saints will associate some of these events and activities with temples; others they might not. Just as the temple is central to the lives of Latter-day Saints today, the Kirtland Temple was central to the lives of the early Saints. Lucy Mack Smith recalled that even during its construction, the Kirtland Temple was the “main spring to all our thoughts.” When the Lord commanded the Saints to build a temple in Kirtland, He taught them about the building’s purpose. “Establish a house,” He directed, “even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God” (D&C 88:119). Joseph Smith echoed this language three years later in the temple’s dedicatory prayer (see D&C 109:8). In fulfilling the dedicated purposes of the Kirtland Temple, the Saints engaged in activities that today are typically associated with three kinds of buildings—temples, chapels, and schools. In so doing, the Saints were learning that all endeavors are sacred in a community laboring to build a stake of Zion. A Book Review: 4/5 Stars - Events are riveting and the characters, in many instances, were bigger than life! I've now lived in Ohio longer than did some of my ancestors, who made the northeast part of the state home briefly before moving on to Missouri and from there to Illinois and elsewhere. There are two things that struck me immediately about this book: First, it's highly readable. You won't get lost in a swamp of names and dates designed to trip you up and confuse you. Second, the author proves his thesis that although the fledgling church called Ohio its headquarters only briefly, the Ohio years would be hugely significant in terms of revelation-based policies and procedures that would serve the organization into the 21st century. The brief Ohio period would prove hugely experiential for the organization's leaders, providing them with gritty real-world experiences that would ensure their successful cross-country journey to the Great Basin. Read this and go behind the scenes as church leaders deal with disaffections among the membership. One hapless individual concluded that the organization's leaders couldn't be inspired, since they misspelled his name in documents. Still others became disenchanted en masse because of the financial panic of 1837. Much of this reads very nearly like a novel only because the events are riveting and the characters, in many instances, were bigger than life. --Nolan Copyright © 2018-2024 TDM Inc.
