Christian Mormon Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I was wondering what things have to happen to bring a temple to an area like Casper Wyoming?
cinepro Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) I have no idea, but my best guess is that the following factors are taken into consideration: - Distance to nearest Temple- Utilization of nearest Temple (i.e. how busy is it?)- Number of potential Temple-goers in the new Temple district (i.e. active, worthy, tithe-payers).- Historical considerations (i.e. Nauvoo, Palmyra, Winter Quarters)- Revelation Edited March 23, 2014 by cinepro 3
Freedom Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Plain and simple revelation from God. I will search for the quote but Pres Hinkley made the comment that, although statistical matters are presented, temples have not always been built in areas with the most attractive numbers.
