My paper proposal titled “Temples as Text: The Swinging Pendulum of Ritual-Architectural Priorities” has been accepted for presentation at the  2019 Mormon History Association Conference – Isolation and Integration at Salt Lake City, UT from June 6-9, 2019. I look forward to the privilege and honor of sharing some of my recent research on how Latter-day Saint temples serve as cultural artifacts and texts for the historian when considering the swinging pendulum of ritual-architectural priorities.
