Temple Lot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The name also refers to the original 63 acres (26 ha) purchased by Bishop Edward Partridge, which is now subdivided into property owned largely by the Community of Christ, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the Church of Christ (Temple Lot). |
 | | In 1891, the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (as the Community of Christ was then known) sued the Church of Christ for the temple lot, and initially won, but lost on appeal in federal circuit court. |
 | | In 1929, the Church of Christ began building the temple, as directed by several reported revelations and visits by an angel, who told them at one point to "move the markers 10 feet east." The revelations described the temple's length as twice its width, at 90 by 180 feet, which concurred with the angel's description. |
