The Community of Christ (RLDS)


When Caroline and I were in Kansas we went to Independence. The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has their world headquarters there. The have changed their name to the Community of Christ.



This is where they have the general conference, every three years. It reminded us of the Tabernacle, but was kept rather dark and had a different feel to it.




This is their Temple. It is rather unique, and the interior was quite beautiful, with lots of natural light.

its interesting how much of nauvoo is still owned by the community of christ. we saw thier signs everywhere when we were there. we saw that temple in independence from the outside and I thought it was creepy, but you're right the inside is quite pretty!

We stopped and saw this as we were on our cross country trek. I think it looks like a rocket ship from the outside. Very strange.

Your pictures make it look very beautiful. Strange that you can tour inside the temple and take pictures though.
