March 12, 2026: Temples with Richard O. Cowan

On March 12, 2026 Provo SNAP had guest speaker Richard O. Cowan to speak about temples, both temple work and specific temples. Brother Cowan is a former BYU professor and a stake patriarch no longer actively giving patriarchal blessings. His wife Dawn was also there. They both are a fount of wisdom and information!

We don’t have any photos to share from that event, but there is an extensive spotlight about Brother Cowan written up in the Ensign in 1988:

And there is another one in BYU Magazine from 2004, when his face was the whole front cover!

We appreciate the Cowans coming to visit SNAP!
