Samaritan Priest Kohen Yefet Discusses The Samaritan Language

[FunJoel]

It depends what you mean by "temple," trilobright. They have one or more synagogues there, and also a large open plaza where they do the Korban Pesach (sacrifice of the Paschal Lamb). On the top of the mountain are the remains of an octagonal Byzantine Church, and I believe they associate some significance to it as well, perhaps claiming it is the remains of their Temple, though I am not certain about that. However, there is no monumental Temple building on Mount Gerizim now that I am aware of.

So is their temple on Mount Gerazim still standing/functioning? I can't seem to get a straight answer out of wikipedia.
