A new meetinghouse located on a busy street corner in Ljubljana, Slovenia, is helping the LDS Church become better known and understood. The stately structure is a firm declaration that the church has a promising future in this Balkan country.
LJUBLJANA, Slovenia -- Mormons in the Balkan country of Slovenia are enjoying a season of interest and friendship among their countrymen since the dedication in September of the LDS Church's first meetinghouse in Ljubljana and an open house a month later.
Missionaries report that people they contact recognize them from the variety of media broadcasts highlighting the new meetinghouse, said Dora Cimerman, national director of public affairs for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Slovenia.
The two-day open house Oct. 17-18 welcomed 418 visitors, which included the mayor and about 30 other civic and community leaders, as well as 19 media representatives. Thirty visitors requested missionary visits, while other friends of members attended sacrament meeting the next day.
This first meetinghouse in Slovenia is a stately building reflecting local architectural designs. It is situated on a busy street corner where, church leaders say, it is becoming recognized as a landmark in the city.
