Temple (Latter Day Saints)
In the
Latter Day Saint movement
, a
temple
is a building dedicated to be a house of
God
and is reserved for special forms of worship. A temple differs from a church
meetinghouse
, which is used for weekly worship services. Temples have been a significant part of the Latter Day Saint movement since early in its inception. Today, temples are operated by several
Latter Day Saint
denominations. The most prolific builder of temples of the
Latter Day Saint movement
is
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
(LDS Church). Several other variations of the church have built or attempted to build temples. The
Community of Christ
operates two temples in the
United States
, which are open to the public and are used for worship services, performances, and religious education. Other denominations with temples are the
Apostolic United Brethren
, the
Church of Christ
, the
Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
and the
Righteous Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
.
