According to the newsroom, “this is the second-highest number of temples announced at one time in the history of the Church. At the April 1998 general conference, former Church President Gordon B. Hinckley (1910–2008) announced plans to construct as many as 32 new temples, though he did not list specific locations.”
President Nelson encouraged members to “do all you can to bring COVID numbers down in your area so that your temple opportunities can increase.”
The Church of Jesus Christ now has 251 temples announced, under construction, or operating.
