29 March 2023 - Feather River California Temple Helping to Foster Relationships With Sikh, Hindu Neighbors

Several years ago Tumber’s parents sold part of their 100-acre property in Yuba City to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to house a stake center — and now the Feather River temple. “The relationship that we established with the Church through the years and now with the temple, I feel like it’s a part of us, our family.”

Staples expressed appreciation for Sarb Thiara, president of the Sikh temple, who made their visit possible. Thiara was unable to attend but commented on receiving a positive report of the event.

“The information I got was that it was very great and everybody enjoyed it. It was a good learning experience for both sides,” Thiara told the Church News.

Thiara explained that Sikhs are welcoming and accepting of all individuals. Like the four doors of the Golden Temple in India, “our religion is open to everyone,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what faith you’re from — we open our doors. That’s what we believe and that’s what I believe. … I hope everybody that came, they feel the same way that we do.”

Cómo el Templo de Feather River, California, está ayudando a fomentar las relaciones con sus vecinos sij e hindúes

Hace varios años, los padres de Tumber vendieron parte de su propiedad de 40 hectáreas en Yuba City a La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días para albergar un centro de estaca — y ahora el templo de Feather River. “La relación que establecimos con la Iglesia a través de los años y ahora con el templo, siento que es parte de nosotros, nuestra familia”.

Staples expresó su aprecio por Sarb Thiara, presidente del templo sij, quien hizo posible su visita. Thiara no pudo asistir pero comentó haber recibido un informe positivo del evento.

“La información que obtuve fue que fue muy bueno y todos lo disfrutaron. Fue una buena experiencia de aprendizaje para ambas partes”, dijo Thiara a Church News.
