Open through Summer 2022
Constructing a Soul
Opens January 7, 2019 and runs through Summer 2022
The Apostle Paul compared our human bodies to temples: “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you?” (1 Cor. 6:19). As individual human beings with bodies and spirits, we have many similarities to physical buildings. This exhibition explores four key parallels between constructing a building and constructing a human soul. It has been thoughtfully designed to help us see the importance of appropriately implementing the processes of planning, construction, rebuilding, and improvement throughout our lives.
