Temples in this religion were envisioned as being surrounded by service-providing buildings called “dependencies” in a set of letters called This Decisive Hour. The founder of this religion claimed that a temple represented the “Manifestation of God” in a tablet written in the shape of a pentagram, collected in the Summons of the Lord of Hosts. The “Greatest Name” is often inscribed on the domes (10[1])of temples of this religion, which are known as “Dawning-places of the Praise of God.” The oldest extant temple in this religion is located in Wilmette, (10[1])Illinois. A temple of this religion (10[1])consists of 27 marble standing petals, has nine doors, and is surrounded by nine ponds.
