Preston England Temple — Attraction in Chorley

The Preston England Temple, located in Chorley, Lancashire; is what could be called a sanctuary of tranquillity. The grounds include several complexes, which are: a meeting house (church), a missionary training centre (which trains the full time volunteers many of us have seen proselyting), a distribution centre (where church supplies can be purchased, and this is geared towards members), an accommodation centre for those visiting the Temple, and the temple itself (which is a special place of worship uniquely for members). The grounds include professionally kept gardens, and with such beautiful sights, and an exceptional atmosphere, really create a sense of peace for those present, whether they walk the gardens or participate in worship services.

It would certainly be the stand out place in the area, such unique and beautiful architecture really goes as far, as to make the town of Chorley more profilic, as it receives visits from across the country, and internationally. This prestige really helps us to understand at what level this complex has really become a staple of the area.

Furthermore, the attitude of those there are very pleasant and helpful, and so this can be considered a very open place, and there is a keen readiness to give help to those whom they come across.

Overall, it would be a commonly held opinion that the Preston England Temple is simply unmissable if you are in the area. It stands as a landmark of a faith that does much good to the community, and really contributes to making the area a much more pleasant place to...

When visiting this Mormon church, I found the gardens to be outstanding! They were simply a place where I could truly commit myself to our lord and saviour. The scenery was amazing; the detail to the shrubbery, with every branch perfectly in place! It truly was like Heaven on Earth; I haven't died, so I can't say if this is true or not. Issues arrive during communion however, when I was handed what appeared to be a bland, excruciatingly dry wafer (I was appalled that they would do such a thing, as it represents the Lord and Saviours body. Is he a shrivelled up cripple?). This wafer was so dry, I started choking and interrupted the ceremony; do you know how humiliating it is, to choke on Jesus? The priest, who was obviously not happy with me, offered the sacrificial grape juice to help me wash the crumbs from my oesophagus. I have never seen such a flagrant lack of disrespect for the blood of our holy Lord; he should be terminated. After drinking the grape juice, I was forced to spit it out due to the sour nature of the drink. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. Naturally, the grape juice went on the Priests garments, further staining the code of our Lord and naturally embarrassing me.

In conclusion: I will come back to see the local bushes and amazing scenery, but I refuse to do communion at a place with dry crackers and sour grapes. Fermented I tell you; my old Mormon church...
