Additional Developments Reported on the Concepcion Chile Temple

Hello, all! In addition to the groundbreaking announcement for Haiti's first temple (the second to be built in the Caribbean) and what was noted yesterday about the Arequipa Peru Temple foundation, I found out today that there has been progress on the Concepcion Chile Temple as well. While work remains to be done on the exterior cladding for the east and west walls, that for the north and south is almost completed. Precast stone cladding is also being attached to the base of the steeple. It is still unknown whether or not this temple will be completed by the end of next year. I always prefer to think and speak optimistically until I know otherwise. For now, that is all that is going on in terms of recent temple developments. Stay tuned this weekend for other posts as I am able to make them happen. I will also be working more on getting the commenting enabled properly again as well. Thanks for the privilege of your time.

Post a Comment

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.

At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.

I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.

And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.

Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
