Temple in Salt Lake City on "Temple Square" circa 1897
The Nauvoo Temple was built in 1846, destroyed and rebuilt in 2002
The Arizona Temple is one of three patterned after the Temple of Solomon

This is a list of temples operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in chronological order. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Church"), a temple is a building dedicated to be a House of the Lord, and considered by Church members to be the most sacred structures on earth. Upon completion, temples are usually open to the public for a short period of time (the "Open House"), and then they are dedicated as a "House of the Lord," after which only members in good standing are permitted. Currently there are 123 operating temples, 6 under construction, and 6 announced but construction has not started.

Within temples, members of the Church make covenants, receive instructions, and perform rituals and ordinances, such as: baptism for the dead, washing and anointing (or "initiatory" ordinances), the "endowment," and eternal marriage sealings. Ordinances are a vital part of the theology of the Church, which teaches that they were practiced by the Lord's covenant people in all dispensations. Additionally, members consider the temple a place to commune with God, seek God’s aid, understand His will, and receive personal revelation.

History

File:DSC01547a.jpg
The Columbus Ohio Temple is an example of smaller temples built under Hinckley's direction.

In 1832, shortly after the formation of the Church, Joseph Smith, Jr. said the Lord wanted the saints to build a temple (D&C 88:119–120); and they completed the Kirtland Temple in 1836. Initially, the Church constructed temples in areas where there were large concentrations of members: Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Hawai'i (all in the USA), and Alberta (Canada). However, because of the importance of temples in the theology, in the mid 20th century, the Church tried to balance density with the travel requirements attending the temple imposed upon members. Thus, temples were built in Europe (Switzerland-1955 and England-1958); the Pacific Islands (New Zealand-1958); and Washington, D.C. (1974 - first temple East of Utah since Nauvoo in 1846) when membership alone might not have justified the effort.

In the 1980s, Spencer W. Kimball directed the Church to build temples smaller and according to standardized plans[1] allowing temples to be built where there were fewer members. As a result the first temples in South America (Brazil-1978); Asia (Japan-1980); and Central America (Mexico City-1983) were built and the number of temples doubled from 15 to 36. Current Church president and prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley, has also accelerated the construction of temples through the construction of temples based on an even smaller standardized base design.[2] In 1998 when there were only 51 temples, Hinckley set a goal to have 100 temples before 2001. He succeeded and the number of temples doubled again from 47 to 123 during his service as President.[3]
