Kellogg Conference Peer Comments

 

 

 

This is required so that the design can be implemented universally
Important but how many more temple plans will require mentoring
It is important to get a writer who can document the process
Local need, mostly funded locally
 
Will help add authenticity in temple architecture
Localized scope; research could be useful for other centers
Use JCNC as a template
Good idea, very local need, try to make a global need
Template for upcoming centers; Leverage other center experiences for small, medium and large
Makes it easier for others to do the same, template can serve as instruction guide; post online
People will have a place to practice Jain Way of Life; I personally do not support building temples.  Building a small discussion room could impart much more knowledge.  I believe it is a drain of resources and money towards buying expensive temple accessories.
Many communities can use this; List of people to contact for questions
Great, one more addition to centers for JWOL propagation; Capital intensive, can create schism in community
Temple is the only place that Jains are attached; reinventing the wheel
This is an important project and new temples could benefit; I think it is a little too late - we already have 30 temples
Useful but not critical; Money can be used for better cause
Template will reduce redundancy; Jain CPA's should review and offer some alternative template as well
Great idea; provide a timeline using experience from centers that already have a temple
Will help each group of Jains find a home rapidly; Design is often not the biggest challenge in temple construction
Every center goes through the pain of planning, funding, executing and maintaining the construction of Jain temple or center.  A guideline with templates, do's and don'ts will be very helpful and visible way for JAINA to be involved in guidance providing; Include preferred list of vendors, suppliers, promotion experts like web, magazine, etc.
