The title has been restored and the comment added in brackets.

Since the caucus label has been removed and mods try to not undo each others' decisions, it will not be restored as a "caucus" but rather as an "ecumenical" thread to discourage antagonism.

This is now an “ecumenical” thread in the Religion Forum. That means anyone can post but NO ANTAGONISM will be allowed.

Tabernacle was Provo's core, should be rebuilt, expert says Published: Friday, Dec. 17, 2010 9:12 p.m. MST By Michael De Groote, Deseret News

PROVO — Architect William Folsom probably was relieved when LDS Church leaders in Provo asked him to design their new tabernacle after the Salt Lake Assembly Hall on Temple Square. It made the job a little easier to have a model to build from.

C. Mark Hamilton, author of "Nineteenth-Century Mormon Architecture and City Planning," said three tabernacles in Utah were built in the late 1800s with the same basic underlying design: The Assembly Hall, the Provo Tabernacle and the Coalville Tabernacle.

The Provo Tabernacle had the same basic cross-shaped layout as the Assembly Hall, but with large staircase towers at each corner, which are "reminiscent of the octagonal towers of the Manti Temple," Hamilton wrote in his book. The towers gave the tabernacle "a more imposing presence" than the Salt Lake Assembly Hall

“When you’ve lost that building, you’ve lost the large center of heritage for the city,” Hamilton said. “In the early history of the church, if you didn’t have a temple, then the next building of importance would be a tabernacle. And they put it in the most visual center part as a constant reminder of who they were and what they ought to be about. And to lose that, you’ve lost your cultural core of Provo City.”

The title was not changed as noted in freepmail!

The RM Guildelines seem not to mean anything is this not what you call a Flip Flop?

So unfortunate. When I attended school in Provo, we lived just a few blocks north of the tabernacle. Often, my wife and I would walk down and enjoy the grounds, we would attend stake conference there a number of times. This really is tragic, that was a beautiful building and a great piece of Utah history.

"The title was not changed..."

The original title was not the title of this article, it was the title of a different article.

Free Republic guidelines and rules are to be followed in all forums.

Titles must match the material posted. Thanks.

Question: Is it within forum rules that in an Ecumenical thread outright antagonism be directed at the moderators?

It is within the rules. It is not, however, wise.

“You know there was two links I choose the one where I could get the video”

You posted a large amount of text which should have been linked to where it originated.

If you wished to use the original title, that is the text you should have used.

The video link could have been put it post #1.

From the article: Provo Firefighters look at a painting of Christ that was burned in the fire. The fire burned the entire image except the image of Christ near the center. (Photo by Scott G Winterton, Deseret News) "All I can think was the pictures and video I had seen of World War II," he said. "It truly looked that ravished on the inside of that building."
