The Rexburg Idaho Temple is the 125th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Announced in late 2003, the temple was dedicated on February 10, 2008 and was the first temple dedicated under the presidency of Thomas S. Monson. The Rexburg Idaho Temple was the third LDS temple in Idaho. (Later in 2008, a fourth Idaho temple was dedicated in Twin Falls.) The temple sits south of the Brigham Young University–Idaho (BYU–I) campus on the south side of Rexburg. Prior to its completion, BYU–I had been the only LDS Church-owned university without a temple adjacent to its campus. The designing of this temple differs from others in that the exterior was designed by a private firm, not the LDS Church's architectural department. This was done because the church wished it to have a fresh new look. The temple has 2 progressive endowment and 5 sealing rooms. On August 30, 2007, it was announced that the temple's open house would begin on December 29, 2007 and run through January 26, 2008. The dedication was to be held on February 3, 2008; however, due to the death of Gordon B. Hinckley and his funeral planned for February 2, 2008, the dedication was postponed one week and was dedicated on February 10 by new church president Thomas S. Monson. Val R. Christensen was the temple's first president.〔("Rexburg Idaho Temple: Presidents" ), ldschurchtemples.com〕 The temple rests atop a shield volcano, as does much of the city. ==See also== * Comparison of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints * List of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints * List of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by geographic region * The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Idaho 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「Rexburg Idaho Temple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
