Late May-early June: Durban South Africa Temple

Mid-June: Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple Dedication (165th

Early-to-mid August: Fortaleza Brazil Temple Dedication

Mid-to-late August: Rio de Janeiro Temple Dedication (167th
operating temple)
Mid-September: Raleigh North Carolina Temple Rededication
Mid-October: Baton Rouge Louisiana Temple Rededication
Mid-to-late October: Lisbon Portugal Temple Dedication
(168th operating temple)
Mid-November: Arequipa Peru Temple Dedication (169th
operating temple)
Mid-December: Oakland California Temple Rededication
NOTE: The Church indicated when announcing the renovation
of this temple that it would reopen in 2019. That said, it is an older temple,
and as such, may take longer than anticipated. I could see it being rededicated
in 2020, if the process is delayed for any reason.
2020:
Mid-to-late April: Winnipeg Manitoba Temple Dedication
(170th operating temple)
Mid-May: Tokyo Japan Temple Rededication
Early-to-mid September: Mesa Arizona Temple Rededication
Mid-November: Washington DC Temple Rededication
NOTE: If, as I expect, almost all of the temples that are
currently announced have a groundbreaking in either 2018 or 2019, then it is
more likely than not that many of them could be dedicated during 2020. For now,
the only events that are anticipated to happen in 2020 are listed here. As the
next two years unfold, I will be adding future events to this list.

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.
