This episode tells the story of the dedication of the Kirtland Temple, the solemn assembly that featured the long-promised endowment of power, and some of the spiritual manifestations that occurred in the temple. This episode also explains how these spiritual moments quickly gave way to contention and dissent in Kirtland.
