The Hartford Connecticut Temple is a planned temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) being constructed in Hartford, Connecticut. It will be the first LDS temple built in Connecticut and the second built in New England, following the Boston Massachusetts Temple. The temple's planned location is in Farmington, at the intersection of Melrose Drive and Farmington Avenue. ==History== On Saturday, October 3, 1992 during the afternoon session of the church’s 162nd Semiannual general conference, Gordon B. Hinckley, First Counselor in the First Presidency, announced plans for a temple in Hartford, Connecticut. However, three years later, plans for this temple were replaced with plans for the Boston and White Plains New York temples. (later to be renamed the ''Harrison New York Temple''). In the October 1995 general conference, Hinckley explained, Hinckley apologized to the members of Hartford, who had joyed in the announcement of this temple, by saying, After construction on the temple in Boston was complete, it was dedicated on 1 October 2000. However, construction of a temple in White Plains, on a 24-acre site for the temple at the intersection of Interstate 287 and Hutchinson River Parkway, was never started and eventually suspended. Reportedly, efforts had been underway until 2004, but construction was delayed by lawsuits and objections by local officials,〔According to a Deseret News Article about the Manhattan Temple.〕 and this temple was removed from the list on the church's official temple website soon after the Manhattan New York Temple dedication. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hartford Connecticut Temple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
