The Chapel is a Sacred Precinct

Gordon B. Hinckley taught,

“Socializing is an important aspect of our program as a church. We encourage the cultivation of friends with happy conversations among our people. However, these should take place in the foyer, and when we enter the chapel we should understand that we are in sacred precincts.”
