BREAKING TEMPLE NEWS: Groundbreaking Announced for Tacloban City Philippines Temple; Site Location and Exterior Rendering Released for Fairbanks Alaska Temple

Hello again, everyone! \As anticipated, the next major temple construction announcement has been made. This week, we got a groundbreaking announcement for the Tacloban City Philippines Temple and the confirmation of the site location (and exterior rendering for the Fairbanks Alaska Temple. Let's get right into those details:

The Tacloban City Philippines Temple will be the first to have a groundbreaking ceremony in 2025, Saturday, January 18, 20255, with GA Seventy Elder Michael B. Strong presiding, Other than the fact that next year;'s first groundbreaking is taking place roughly 9 days before the one-year anniversary of the first temple groundbreaking for 2024, I think we will have more groundbreakings next year than we did last year,

In reference to the Tacloban City Philippines Temple, it was originally announced in October 2021. with a site announced on March 25 of this year. Uniquely, this temple had a groundbreaking announced without the release of an exterior rendering. Not sure why that is, but I assume we will learn about an exterior rendering later.

We now turn to the Fairbanks Alaska Temple, originally announced in October of last year. The single-story temple of approximately 10,000-square-foot edifice will rise on a 7.59-acre site along Geist Road, Fairbanks, Alaska.. Aside from the note that this temple appears to be another modular one, I will leave it to others to comment on the rendering as they choose to do so. 

Stay tuned here 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.

    Hello again, everyone! I failed to mention yesterday that the text of the prayer offered by Elder Quentin L. Cook to dedicate the Casper Wyoming Temple is now available. I endorse that prayer ws well worthy of your time and attention. The Church News also published reports confirming the Tacloban City Philippines Temple groundbreaking date and the Fairbanks Alaska Temple site location and rendering. My thanks once again to you all.

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.
