La Luz del Mundo, the light of the world, is a religion here in Mexico. The missionaries say that it was started by a former member of the LDS Church many years ago. There are over 3 million members of that religion in Mexico, compared with 1.1 million LDS. They sit the men and women on opposite sides of an aisle for services and at some point the women veil their faces. Preaching is done from behind an altar. They must be doing okay financially because they build fancy meeting houses. We have watched this church in it final stages of construction in the city of Cordoba. The beautiful and extinct volcano Pico Orizaba is behind the building. The rumor is that this church is built in the shape of a ship so that it can float in case of a flood. We think that an "Ark of the Covenant" is at the bottom left corner of the church.

  1. I'm sorry but, I am a member of The Light of The World Church, which by the way is not just in Mexico, but in more than 50 countries around the world. Most of what you wrote here is a huge lie. This was was not founded by a former LDS member, and our temples weren't built to float. We just like to built our temples more modern looking, with how you said elegance. I invite you to check our website lldmusa.org for more info
