BREAKING TEMPLE NEWS: Site Locations & Preliminary Information Detailed for Colorado Springs Colorado & Missoula Montana Temples

Hello again, everyone! On this first Monday in November, the First Presidency has announced the locations and initial details for the Colorado Springs Colorado Temple (which was originally announced in October 2023) and the Missoula Montana Temple (which was originally announced in April 2022). Let's get right into the details:

We start with the Colorado Springs Colorado Temple. An 18.6-acre site on the south corner of Flying Horse Drive and Barossa Valley Road will host the single-story 45,009-square-foot edifice, along with a meetinghouse and a utility building. 

For the Missoula Montana Temple, a 5.08-acre site at the corner of Old Bitterroot and Lower Middle Creek Roads will host a single-story 19,000-square-foot temple and an ancillary building. Both temples are larger than I thought they would be. 

Stay tuned for updates from the Church News, Newsroom, and Church of Jesus Christ Temples sites. I’ll be sure to pass word of those along to you all as soon as I learn about them. In the meantime, that does it for now. All comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated on any post at any time, as long as all such feedback is made per the established guidelines. 

I hope any of you who want to share anything will take your opportunity to “sound off” in the comments below. If you liked what you read here and want to stay informed of newly added posts and comments, please subscribe for the applicable updates.

    Excellent news.

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.
