What distinguishes Latter-day Saints (Mormons) from other faiths is that they are a temple building people.  Ever since the Church was founded, they have erected temples.  While other faiths do have temples, they are for worship only.  The LDS temples are built primarily for the purpose of administering the ordinances essential to higher salvation and the blessings of happiness and involvement in the spirit world.

We believe that these ordinances furnish a passport, with keys and privileges that are bestowed only in temples.  Hence the importance of the temples of God for the LDS people.  To receive the Temple Letters, simply put your name and email address below.

These Temple Letters are a series of weekly newsletters delivered to your email.  They each take about 60 seconds to read, and consist of teachings, quotes, and commentary on the purpose of the temple.  The Temple Letters also encourage you to attend the temple and devote some of your weekly time to service there.  These letters are primarily for members of the LDS faith, but anyone is free to sign up and learn about the purpose and perspective provided by temples.  Your name and email are kept safe and private.

You will also learn about vicarious ordinances and how baptisms and other essential covenants can be performed for those who have passed from this life before receiving them.

Sincerely,

(Temple Letter Creators)
