A statue of the Angel Moroni sits atop the Salt Lake Temple in a 2015 photo. The temple was damaged Wednesday in an earthquake that also dislodged Moroni's trumpet.
(CNN)The 5.7-magnitude earthquake that shook Utah Wednesday morning also dislodged a symbolic part of Salt Lake City's iconic Mormon temple: the trumpet of an angel statue atop its highest spire.
The temple is the spiritual focal point for the 16 million members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"The trumpet on the Angel Moroni statue fell off, and there is minor displacement of some of the temple's smaller spire stones," said Daniel Woodruff, a spokesman for the church.

Not my LCMS. It is strictly biblical.
Posts like your #26 are one of the reasons I love FR!
Beat me to it.
I lived amongst Mormans in Idaho for a few months many years ago. As a Christian I was put off with their never-ending proselytizing. However, as a citizen I was very impressed by their sense of community, loyalty, helpfulness, kindness, generosity, inventiveness, work ethic, etc.
As I said, the ELCA...
I hope that’s the bugle that tells Mormons to vote for Romney.
Book of Mormsn is clearly a hoax. And yes I’ve read it. The whole thing is a parody of the KJV Bible. Including random thees and thous. The ones who bought into it way back when must have been pretty gullible.
*ping*
When you hear about the planet Kolob and stuff you have to wonder......
LOL
The Mormon beliefs doesn’t interest me. It’s their business, but the earthquake is news worthy. Will there be more and more earthquakes as predicted in the Revelation, along with the Pandemic? We might be looking at some serious last days. I’m watching the Eastern sky.
Don’t forget the locusts in Africa.
Nice to see you Tennessee Nana!
“ However, as a citizen I was very impressed by their sense of community, loyalty, helpfulness, kindness, generosity, inventiveness, work ethic, etc.”
Largely, great people caught in a false religion.
There was a Daddy moron and a baby moron sitting on a fence. One fell off, the other one didn’t. Which one remained, and why?
The one that stayed atop the fence was the baby moron, he didn’t fall off because he was a little moron, of course.
I think God trying to get everyone’s attention with all that going on. Maybe in symbolic ways like this. God is patient but...60 million babies gone...some calling evil good and good evil....
1 Samuel 5:2-4 2Then they carried the ark into Dagon’s temple and set it beside Dagon. 3When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. 4But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained.
