Logan Temple Dedicatory Promises
The Logan Temple had some unique promises included in the dedicatory prayer. Promises that make the Logan Temple a true house of learning.
For example, the blessings of learning go beyond what we might typically think of when we envision attending the temple, including, “the instruction of Thy people in all principles of science and intelligence pertaining to this life, and the lives that are to come.” It also references God’s command to “become acquainted with all good books, and with languages, tongues and people.”

As one of the earlier temples, Logan temple dedicatory prayer also includes many references to the events of the Restoration.
It mentions Christ’s appearance to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery in the Ohio temple, the construction of the Nauvoo temple, and the restoration of many priesthood ordinances.
However, this prayer is not just for the temple and those who enter. It is also a petition to God to protect the United States and its citizens living well outside Logan Utah.
