LDS has "inspired" plan to build a new temple in NYCIn a move that one devoted Mormon calls "definitely inspired" the Utah based church has decided to renovate two floors in a Manhattan building once used by a health club for racquet ball, to create its new NYC temple, reported the Salt Lake City Tribune.
Mormons use temples for secret ceremonies, sacraments and the baptism of the dead.
The six-story building is located across the street from the Lincoln Center in the heart of Manhattan. Soon Mormons will be able to watch a concert, and then stand in for their favorite deceased composer in a baptism across the street. Parking will be available in the basement.
