Hello again, everyone! As some of you might recall, in previous posts I have referenced an article from an Italian newspaper which quoted construction workers assigned to the Rome Italy Temple project as saying that they had been instructed to turn the temple back over to the Church by the end of May.
While that process is still pending, an official release from Mormon Newsroom confirms that the open house and dedication dates for this temple have been set. The open house tours will run from Monday January 28-Saturday February 16, 2019, excluding the Sundays during that time. The dedication for the Rome Italy Temple will be in several sessions over the course of roughly one week, and will be held from Sunday March 10-Sunday March 17.
As any Christian is aware, the city of Rome holds high importance to the history of Christianity, so it would make sense that dedicatory sessions will be held over the course of a week, to allow all who want to attend this historic event the chance to do so.
I didn't see in that official release anything about a cultural celebration or devotional for youth the night before the first dedicatory sessions, but this is significant news, to be sure. For my part, I will continue to monitor news about this event and will post that here as I find out about it.
That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.

BREAKING NEWS: Church Announces Open House & Dedication Dates for Rome Italy Temple
I have had a lifelong love for Church history, which has extended to ongoing reports of the ministry of our apostles and prophets, General Conference, and all temple developments. This blog enables me to share that love with all who read my thoughts on these developments, which are sometimes reported multiple times per day as needed.

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.
