The term became strongly associated with Reform institutions, in some of which both congregants and outsiders associated it with the elimination of the prayers for the restoration of the Jerusalem Temple, though this was not the original meaning—traditional synagogues named themselves "temple" over a century before the advent of Reform, and many continued to do so after. In American parlance, "temple" is often synonymous with "synagogue", but especially non-Orthodox ones.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-76304077164249961732019-06-14T06:30:52.994+02:002019-06-14T06:30:52.994+02:00Tu es pardonné.

In French, it seems the word temple applies to any non-catholic church. It appears the word <i>église</i> is reserved in French for Catholic places of worship. No disrespect there, just semantics.chmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765675930520613520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-62826583883307636922019-06-14T05:12:59.831+02:002019-06-14T05:12:59.831+02:00Sorry if I misunderstood your comment.

Wikipedia gives this for "temple" :<br /><br />A temple (from the Latin word <i>templum</i>) is a building reserved for religious or spiritual rituals and activities such as prayer and sacrifice. It is typically used for such buildings belonging to all faiths where a more specific term such as church, mosque or synagogue is not generally used in English. These include Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism among religions with many modern followers, as well as other ancient religions such as Ancient Egyptian religion.
