4. SOUNDBITE (English) Gérald Caussé, Presiding Bishop, in charge of temple construction:
“We follow an extensive process to identify locations for temples to be built. Those temples are because they are so sacred to us and need to be put in places where you feel are peaceful and beautiful, that will be preserved for generations. And so this is what typically drives the choice of a piece of land. In addition to the accessibility to the members and the fact that it’s a central location that the members living in the area can go to easily.”

“These temples are houses of the Lord for us. They are very precious places that are very sacred for us in our religion. And the reason we go to the temple is because in the temple there are things that we do. Sacred ceremonies and ordinances, what we call ordinances that we cannot do elsewhere.”
