    Gotta love 1970s documentaries. They have a style from a bygone era.

    Interesting. Open house and rededication are occurring now.
    Interesting to see the changes to the building and grounds. A church and visitor center were built nearby along with a few more houses.
    Will miss the Jesus mural with the righteous and the damned. Well the painting has been reprinted in old church literature so maybe not a total loss.
    Thank you for the videos. They are a trove of memories and understanding.

      The Tempe is currently closed for renovation and will have an open house and re-dedication in 2020. That being said, when I was last there in 2013 there was still the organ in chapel. Not much had changed really with interior except carpet of different colors went to a more white and cream color in most places. The sealing rooms had all be re painted into a more universal white with some faint gold trim in places and the alters were all white, doing away with the very 70's feel that was there. I am curious to see what the temple will be like when it is finished.

      For myself I take my spirituality very personal, taking doctrines and ideas from multiple sources. One thing I have learned both about religion and politics is to research multiple points of view before drawing a conclusion. That ideal should be all over the internet. People are very passionate about a great many subjects from many disciplines but that doesn't necessarily make them correct.
