One of the world's
largest and most controversial Pentecostal
churches has been given permission to build a
$200m (£130m) replica of Solomon's Temple in
Brazil's economic capital, São Paulo. The
10,000 capacity "mega-church", which
is the brainchild of Brazil's Universal Church
of the Kingdom of God, will also house a
replica of the Ark of the Covenant and be
built according to "biblical
orientations". "We are preparing
ourselves to build the temple, in the same
mold as Solomon's," the church's leader
and founder, Bishop Edir Macedo said in a
televised service, posted on his blog. Macedo
said his church had signed a contract to
import stones from Israel. "We have
signed the contract and commissioned the
stones that will come from Jerusalem, just
like the ones that were used to build the
temple in Israel; stones that were witnesses
to the powers of God, 2,000 ago," he
said. "It is going to be a knock-out, it
is going to be beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
— the most beautiful of all. The outside
will be exactly the same as that which was
built in Jerusalem." The 55-metre high
temple, the equivalent of an 18-storey
building, would tower over central São Paulo
and be "twice the height of [Rio's]
Christ the Redeemer statue", the blog
said.
