  • St Andy Reid Parish?

    NO...but Pennsy's first Mormon Temple is about to open in Philly. Just off Vine around 11th St. Not sure what was there before. Unbelievable granite building...huge in scale....great addition to the skyline. They are currently giving tours.

    I went to summer camps to one in the 'burbs...

    a few times when I was a smurf. It was a huge tent, much like the Valley Forge Music Fair.

      Wife and I who aren't religious in any way, myself being atheist, went to one of the big cathedrals in Montreal while there a few years back. Place was as opulent as any palace that I've seen in person or media, and keep in mind this wasn't the big church in Montreal which is like Versailles. We kind of looked at each other and said how does this over the top sort of design and decoration represent this "guy" they all worship who was the son of a poor carpenter?? Modern religion is a business.

          100% Some of these churches regardless of faith are incredible structures. The workmanship is amazing and especially with the older buildings. No eqpt like they have today all the stone work was done by hand.

                        They offered tours at the San Diego one for anybody interested in seeing the place. People had to wear shoe-covers to walk through
                        Then, after the tours were over, they ripped out all the tour carpet, handrails, re-did the bathrooms and repainted the walls where the heathens came through, so they had a fully cleansed palace to start.

                        No shortage of cash, amazing structures

                            I think it's only open for about a month for us non-book of mormon believers, then closed off forever.

                            Speaking of which, finally saw book of mormon last week - not sure what the fuss was about.
