Ask A Mormon: Can you be baptized after death?

Mormons believe that “God is no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34). He loves all of his children, regardless of when or where they were born. We also believe that baptism, and the covenants we make at baptism, are stepping stones on the path to salvation and exaltation.

Ask A Mormon: Do Mormons believe they will become gods?

Latter-day Saints believe that every life — our spirits, our souls, the essence of who we are — is eternal.

Ask A Mormon: Do Mormons stockpile goods?

Are Mormons Preppers? Why and where and for how long do they stockpile goods? Why is this, is there an eschatological reason?

The Sikh Temple of Spokane is located in the Spokane Valley.
The Sikh Temple of Spokane is located in the Spokane Valley.

Join us for a vegetarian meal during Fatih Feast: An Intercultural Progressive Dinner this Sunday. We'll have halal appetizers at the Spokane Islamic Center, then entrees at the Sikh Temple, then dessert at Millwood Community Presbyterian Church.

The Sikh Gudwara of Spokane is home to about 75 families in the Spokane and Coeur d'Alene area.

The gudwara, or temple, was originally a church and the community chose to keep incorporate some artifacts from the church into its current worship space.

Services, led by Baba ji, are Sundays at 11 a.m and are always followed by a vegetarian meal. All are welcome.

When visiting a Sikh gudwara, the communal partaking of food is customary. This takes place in the langar, or community kitchen, where only simple, vegetarian food is served. This practice was instituted by Guru Nanak, the first Sikh guru, and has become fundamental to Sikhs because it demonstrates the abolition of caste. In other words, everyone eats together, and any Sikh can assist in preparing the food.

For ticket info email [email protected]. Seating is limited.
