The Church for Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has many churches around the world. Similar to Jews, they have temples to worship the Lord our God. There are around 146 temples around the world; 2 of which are in the Philippines. The 2 temples in the Philippines are in Manila and Cebu. The architecture of the Cebu temple is somewhat gothic and modern. They get the money from tithing which is a commandment in which members of the church should pay 10% of their earnings. That is why people say the Mormon Church is wealthy.
Some influences around the site or the attire of the elders and sisters, and the architecture and interior of the Church. Based on research, the Mormon elders' usual attire is a shirt and tie with slacks. While a sisters’, is a dress. I consider this influence from Europe and the U.S because that is what people usually wear when going to church. The architecture of all the churches in Cebu and the world are similar and when I did a little bit of research it is designed by an American. The Mormon Church doesn't feature any cross because they focus more on his resurrection.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has been involved in various Charities and projects not only in Cebu but in other parts of the world. In Ghana, they donated around $730,000 worth of water to Villages affected by drought. In the Philippines, volunteers from the LDS game to help in humanitarian projects in Olangapo Angeles and Pangasinan. The Mormon Church has its relevance not only the projects they have but to their teachings about Jesus' resurrection. The Mormon Church has its relevance to the world because of their teachings which dig deeper into Jesus' message for us, the people of earth.
As a person in the community, it is important not to judge about other religions based on their beliefs and thoughts. People should learn to accept others especially on their religion. Either Jew, Muslim or Mormon there still humans and not outcasts in the human race. Based on my opinion, I think it would be great if we could learn from them and appreciate what practices they have. People these days are somewhat racist. When someone mentions Muslims, Jews or any other race, they are often associated to being weird and different from us. People who usually say this are like Americans because they are like very famous in the world. Us Filipinos too are associated as a different race. Our OFWs are being abused in Arabia and some places. Sometimes I think the world would be better if we are truly united. Overall, the Mormons might be different from us but they are still human beings.
