Mormon Messages: "Why Mormons Build Temples"

Some time ago I posted two entries about the Oklahoma City Temple (here and here; the Los Angeles Temple is pictured at right).  I recently ran across a video that provides insight into the purpose of temples.  It includes messages from Jeffrey R. Holland, Ann N. Madsen, Boyd K. Packer, and President Thomas S. Monson of the Church.  Also featured are Frank Moore Cross, Professor of Ancient History at Harvard, and Krister Stendahl, Dean of Divinity Emeritus at Harvard (deceased), who share their non-Mormon perspectives on the Church's construction of temples in modern times.  Enjoy the video after the jump.
