On Monday I had a layover in Salt Lake City, UT and decided to go downtown to see the Mormon Tabernacle. I made it in time for an organ concert at the Tabernacle (1). It was a great concert as far as concerts go, but it was much more upsetting to me than I expected it to be... to see this sect using Christian hymnody to legitimitize them as a religion.
Anyway, I need to put those thoughts to paper.... but, (2) is the temple itself (can't go there, nor did I want to), (3) is the outside of the Tabernacle. It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be, and (4) is the new LDS Conference center. It seats 21,000 people, the largest of its kind in the world.
Wow, Dan! It is unbelievable. I can only imagine your emotions. We'd love to read your paper someday!
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I'd love to read your paper, too.
ReplyDeleteI talked with someone last week who insisted that Mormons were Christians, and was surprised that I would think otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI echo the others, Dan. Share with us some more thoughts about what you observed.
