The Accra Ghana temple, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was built entirely by Africans, with materials native to the continent. The temple facade is Namibian granite. Moldings are of native makore wood. Handcrafted furniture and special art-glass windows also reflect an African influence. Pulic tours will end on December 20th. The temple will be dedicated in January. KSL TV https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1033130/posts#comment Wed, 3 Dec 2003 17:53:30 GMT
