168ある末日聖徒の寺院のうち、オークランド寺院はエンジェルモロニの像がない8つの教会の1つです。建築基準法、文化的な誤解、または建築デザインが重量をサポートしないため、これらの寺院はモロナイを収容しません。
モロニって誰?
Moroni is an iconic and inspirational figure in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is most known as a character from The Book of Mormon, who watched the demise of his people.
Moroni was the last author of The Book of Mormon, and he taught how people could turned to God to be saved. His writing is inspirational and is written for people today to learn and grow from.

モロナイとモルモン書
The Angel Moroni is so iconic because it is symbolic of an event known in the Church as the Restoration, which means the truth is returning to the earth once more.
It is believed that years after his passing, Angel Moroni appeared to the Prophet Joseph Smith and instructed him on how to receive The Book of Mormon.
モロナイは、モルモン書が書かれた金版の扱い方を指導する若い預言者ジョセフ・スミスのメンターの役割を果たし続けました。
As soon as the Book of Mormon was translated, Joseph returned the books to Angel Moroni and he ascended into heaven completing his lifelong work.

今日のモロニ
今日、モロナイは、神の国の神の言葉の説教を象徴するために、すべての人が見ることができるように彼の金のプレートとトランペットで寺院に象徴的に立っています。このように、黙示録14:6に書かれた預言を成就しました。そして、私は天国の真ん中に別の天使が飛んで行き、地球に住む彼らと、あらゆる国、家系、そして舌と人々に宣べ伝える永遠の福音を持っているのを見ました。 。」

寺院とモロニ
The first angel to be on a temple was the Nauvoo Temple in January 1846 in a form of a weather vane. Years later the first statue of an angel was placed on top of the Salt Lake City Temple on April 6th, 1892.
Since then the angel has been recognized among the members of the Church as Angel Moroni. It has become a tradition for Moroni to be the beacon to all temples, inviting all to come closer to Christ.
オークランドの寺院はエンジェルモロニをホストしていませんが、他の寺院からもたらされるのと同じ希望とインスピレーションを今でも伝えています。多くの人々は、オークランドの神殿を、イエス・キリストへの彼らのガイドポイントとのつながりと見ています。
