LINGFIELD, England — The old Roman road running from the south coast of England to the Thames River has, for 50 years, passed by the towering London England Temple and its 32 acres of parklike grounds. Today, the "new" London England Temple Visitors Center also graces the grounds and invites passers-by, LDS Church members, tourists and the community to visit the "distribution center for the word of God."
"A visitors center is a place to teach the message of the Atonement, the message of the plan of salvation, the message of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ in its fullness," Elder Robert C. Oaks of the Seventy and president of the Europe Area stated as he prepared to dedicate the newly renovated center.
