LDS temple open to public in D.C.
Officials of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced Tuesday that members of the public will be allowed into its Washington-region temple for the first time since 1974.
The temple has been closed for renovations and improvements since early 2018, and the reopening, open house and dedications were delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Normally, only church members in good standing can enter temples, where private and somewhat-secret ceremonies are held.
The 57-acre, 160,000-square-foot temple in Kensington, Md., will be open to the public from April 28 through June 4 (except for Sundays) in 2022.
