On Huffington Post: “Why do Mormons have churches and temples?”

A nice explanation for those who might — and probably do — find us and our buildings rather puzzling:

After all, sometimes our chapels are even right next to our temples, sharing the same parking lot.  Why do that?  Why have two separate buildings — they’re both churches, right? — next door to one another?  Are Catholic parish churches ever built directly adjacent to cathedrals?
