In a rare mediation, the LDS Church compromises with town on disputed temple design

The decision shortens the steeple and shrinks the overall size, but the new plan is meeting with mixed reactions.

(Shelby Tauber | Special to The Tribune) The lot where a proposed temple for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may be built in Fairview, Texas, is photographed in May 2024. A meetinghouse for the faith is already located nearby. Town and church representatives recently came to a compromise on a structure that is smaller than the one originally pitched, but still bigger than the parameters set by town ordinances.
