Sidney was highly instrumental in the building of this temple but hardly a mention is ever made of him. At some point the church needs to put aside the bad blood and be forthright about the undeniable contribution Brother Rigdon gave to the early church. How dare he attempt to lead the church upon the untimely death of Joseph. There was no stopping the polygamy loving Young and his band of followers. Dig deeper into the dedication service for the Kirtland Temple. Interesting how Sidney delivered the 2 1/2 hour dedicatory sermon that day in 1836. We are fast approaching the time when the light will be shone fiercely on this whole Mormon affair. We await the day.
