Los Angeles's Mormon Temple was evacuated Thursday afternoon after employees received an envelope filled with an unidentified white powdery substance, a spokesman for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints tells NBC 4 News in Los Angeles.

The temple, located in the city's Westwood district, was the target of protests last week following the narrow passage of Proposition 8, the anti-gay-marriage ballot measure that Mormons helped bankroll. The FBI is on the scene in Los Angeles, and a hazardous materials team has been called.

LDS spokesman Ronald Smith said a similar envelope was delivered on Thursday to the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City. (Neal Broverman, The Advocate)
