Van Beek analyzes the Dutch temple experience. First, the history of the temple project will be shown from the Dutch perspective, with a discussion of some of the observable effects on the Dutch saints, one of them being a large drop in temple attendance. Then he explores the connection of hierarchy and the sacred, exemplified in the absolute control over the temple from the church centre, and in the hierarchy as sacred itself. He also considers the routinization of the sacred, as exemplified by having a local temple, and tries to characterize the difference between a temple in Deseret and one in the international church.
