Reflections on Temple Discussion

30 Comments

Of course many of you know that we had a discussion about the temple this past Sunday on Google Hangouts.  I hope you were able to listen in or watch.  If not, a recording is available.

I’m curious to get your feedback on the fireside discussion.  Some questions in my mind are:

  • Was it helpful to you? In what way?
  • Did you learn new things?  What?
  • Did you enjoy it?  Why?
  • Were you nervous about what might be said?  Did we assuage that fear?
  • What did you think of the length?  Shorter?  Longer?
  • What did you think of the contributors?  (Be nice!)
  • Was the material we addressed accessible and understandable?
  • Did the discussion encourage you to go learn more on your own?
  • Do you believe it is helpful for the Church in general, both for members within the Church to learn about the temple, and for outsiders to gain a greater understanding of our temple traditions? (Ok, that’s a loaded one.)
  • Any concerns? Suggestions? Critiques?

Before I schedule the next one, which might be as soon as this coming Sunday, August 12, I want to get your take on this, so we can improve it or cancel it.  Please take a moment to share with us your thoughts in the comments below.

TempleStudy Feedback

It’s been about four months since I began the TempleStudy.com blog. During that time I have made many new friends, and have become acquainted with many new people. It has been a great learning and growing time. I have found that I learn much more about the temple as I research these topics, and I’ve had many comments from readers who also have been positively influenced by the things they read here. I am grateful that I started this blog, and for the many people who have participated.

I’d like to get a little more feedback on the site, and more direction from you. This site will only serve its purpose if it addresses the subjects you are interested in, and starts good positive conversations and discussions. Please help by answering a few questions below: [Read more…]
