BREAKING TEMPLE NEWS: Official Name Released for the Washington County Utah Temple

Hello again, everyone! A surprising development that constitutes breaking temple news has been reported today by the Church Temples site, and has been corroborated by the Church's official list of announced temples. What has been known as the Washington County Utah Temple will now officially be known as the Red Cliffs Utah Temple, honoring the red rock cliffs found in abundance in that region. As one who has viewed those several times myself, this is a very fitting and proper name for this temple.

I am grateful that my theory that the Washington County name would not stick has proven correct. And I am grateful for the First Presidency's sensitivity to local culture in honoring southern Utah in general and the St. George region thereof in particular with a second temple that has an inspired new name. I continue to monitor all Church news and temple updates and will be sure to pass word of those along to you all as I become aware of such things.

That does it for now. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time, as long as such comments are made in accordance with the established guidelines.
