Prototype for Zion: Development of Latter-day Saint Sacred Space

We will look at the life and legacy of the Provo Tabernacle as a lens for better understanding the creation of sacred spaces in the Church.
About this Event

The Original Provo Meetinghouse, which once stood north of the Provo City Center Temple, was one of the earliest Latter-day Saint meetinghouses. In many ways, the Provo Meetinghouse extended a revealed pattern for Latter-day Saint worship spaces, establish a new model, and influenced the establishment Latter-day Saint communities around the world. In this lecture, we will look at these three aspects of the building’s life and legacy as a lens for better understanding the creation of sacred spaces in the Church even today.

The lecture will take place on February 26th at 7:00pm at the BYU Museum of Peoples and Cultures.
