Mormon Notes: Provo Tabernacle


President Clark Monson, the Prophet's son, conducted and presided over our Stake Conference today. It was really neat. And, although there were a number of great talks with principles that I will endeavor to apply into my life, I was caught wondering about the building we were in.

Traditionally, Tabernacles are mentioned in the Bible and serve a certain purpose related to the worship of God--this use in modern times has been taken over by temples. However, in most large Utah towns, the Tabernacles are used as a "multipurpose religious building, used for church services, conferences, and as community centers."

The Provo Tabernacle "was built in 1883 by the LDS Church. It is a marvel of craftsmanship with outstanding brickwork and lovely stained glass. The Tabernacle plays host to numerous cultural events each year." So, since 1883, I wonder who has actually stepped foot inside the building. I couldn't find anything, can you?
