Mormon Church

On Tuesday, April 27, 2010, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose members are often casually called Mormons, showed reporters around a new solar-powered meetinghouse. It is one of five environmentally friendly chapels serving as a test program to monitor effectiveness. The pilot program will eventually lead to environmentally friendly meetinghouses world-wide.
