The Newport Beach California Temple (HD) - Mormon Temples

The Newport Beach California Temple is the 122nd temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The temple was announced on April 21, 2001 and dedicated by Gordon B. Hinckley on August 28, 2005. It is the sixth operating temple in California.

Like its sister temple in Redlands, the temple in Newport Beach uses interior and exterior architectural themes consistent with what was used in the Spanish missions of the early Western US and Mexico.

In response to opposition from residents of the surrounding community, the LDS Church made several modifications to the original design. The exterior was changed from white marble or granite to a more pink granite, considered more appropriate for Orange County. The steeple was lowered from 124 feet (38 m) to 90 feet (27 m), and the exterior lighting is turned off each night at 11 o'clock (unlike most temples, which are lit throughout the night).

The temple is topped by a cupola holding the traditional statue of the angel Moroni. As with many contemporary LDS temples, the Newport Beach California Temple is built on the grounds of an existing stake center and shares parking with it. The temple has a total of 17,800 square feet (1,650 m2), two ordinance rooms, and three sealing rooms.

The temple is located near the campus of the University of California, Irvine and the upscale Fashion Island shopping mall.

Funding for the PEF comes from generous donations from members of the Church and other organizations. It is a revolving resource from which money is loaned to an individual to help pay for education or training that leads to a viable, local job. Participants then pay back the loan at a low interest rate.

When he established the PEF in 2001, President Hinckley emphasized the need to help others learn and progress. At a Church conference President Hinckley said: We need to care for one another more diligently. We need to make a little more effort to assist those who are down at the bottom of the ladder. We need to give encouragement and a lifting hand to men and women of faith and integrity and ability, who can climb that ladder with a little help.

are you saying that Paul performed NO ordinances in the Temple after he converted to Christianity??

you might want to READ the Bible BEFORE commenting on it

/only a suggestion

[KakkoiGuy1]

Not even. Because if you read the whole book, Paul was a Jew but when he turned to Christ Jesus after he would go to the temple to preach the Gospel that the Jews rejected. Not because he felt God dwelled there. Paul had the Holy Spirit living inside of him like all Born Again Believers do. Also, remember that all were allowed to enter those temples for worship. You didn't need a recommend. They didn't wear all white, and didn't have secret handshakes. LDS temples are nothing like Jewish temples

"The greatest thing we could do today was to partake of the sacrament,'' Scalley said. "It was far more important than anything we'll do as a football team this week.''

Scalley and two Ute defensive starters, Mike Wright and Christian Cox, spoke of the remembering Jesus Christ this Christmas season and throughout the year during a fireside at the Pomerado Ward Building in the Poway Stake Dec. 20.

POWAY, Calif. -- Although his team was spending several days in southern California for its bowl game against the University of California, Utah assistant football coach Morgan Scalley said the most important part of the trip for several team members had already taken place that morning.

@KakkoiGuy1

in Acts 21 the wicked call out against Paul and others demanding that they not go into the Temple.

I hope you are NOT like those wicked people...
