Summary: <br> Two Month Nauvoo Temple Operation <br> <br> I cover some of the events, ordinances, sermons, and happenings in the Nauvoo Temple during its short term of operation from 11 December 1845 to 8 February 1846. A major source for my comments is the valuable book: The Nauvoo Endowment Companies, edited by Gary Bergera and Devery Anderson, compiled primarily from Nauvoo Temple records and diaries. I discuss: <br> <br> Laying of the cornerstones of the Temple <br> <br> Extensive detailed records <br> <br> The ordinances - baptism for the dead, washings, anointings, washing and anointing for health, washing of feet, endowments, second anointing, marriage, sealings (living, dead, children), adoptions, ordinations (elder, seventy, high priest), prayer circles <br> <br> Types of marriages/sealings performed in the temple - for time and eternity; for time; for eternity; monogamous for time-plural for eternity; plural for time-monogamous for eternity; plural for time and eternity; non-sexual for time <br> <br> Wedding ceremonies, celebration and recreation in the temple <br> <br> Dancing in the temple unto the Lord - Brigham Young's explanation and defense <br> <br> Music in the temple <br> <br> Secrecy directives <br> <br> Prominent themes of the temple prayers <br> <br> Actors in the Endowment drama <br> <br> First Temple expose <br> <br> <br> Topics Raised by Callers and Email <br> <br> A strong condemnation of my motives and my response. <br> <br> Priesthood is outside of the Church. <br> <br> Is the Book of Mormon fact or fiction? <br> <br> Three Book of Mormon doctrines which are wrong. <br> <br> The Church fell into apostasy in 1978 in giving the Blacks the priesthood, and a former 70 now is the Lord's Anointed. <br> <br> The fact that Pres. Kimball received a revelation to extend the priesthood to the Blacks means there must have been a revelation to withhold the priesthood from the Blacks. <br> <br> <br> Talk Show host: Van Hale, LDS <br> Official website: <a href="http://www.mormonmiscellaneous.com/">http://www.mormonmiscellaneous.com/</a> <br> Podcast address: <a href="http://www.mormonmisc.podbean.com/">http://www.mormonmisc.podbean.com/</a> <br> Talk Show Blog: <a href="http://www.mormonmiscellaneous.com/radioprogramblog">mormonmiscellaneous.com/radioprogramblog</a> <br> <br> This is the 19 August 2007 episode of the Mormon Miscellaneous Worldwide Talk Show, now in its 28th year. <br> <br> To listen to future Talk Shows live, go to <a href="http://www.k-talk.com/">http://www.k-talk.com/</a> Sunday evenings 5:00 - 7:00 pm MST. <br> <br> If you have a question or comment, your participation is invited, regardless of your point of view. <br> <br> Your voice will be heard around the world. <br> <br> <a href="http://mormonmisc.podbean.com/estore-catalog/">Click</a> to visit my eStore Catalog of Digital Articles related to some of my Podcast Episodes <br> <br> To make a comment, click on “Comment” below.<br>
