Project Manager “President Nelson has decided that the Angel Moronis no longer represent the church, although they represent the gospel and the restoration. The Angel Moroni represented bringing the good news of the gospel through the Book of Mormon. The most important thing is what happens is in inside the temples. Therefore, the figure of the angel Moroni is no longer required in all the temples, and it never has been, its optional.” Temple Dedications Belem Brazil Temple – #174 November 20, 2022, by Dale Renlund 9th in Brazil 10 stakes, 2 districts https://www.thechurchnews.com/temples/2022/11/20/
