Roy Moore's 10 Commandments Have New Church Home
The Tuscaloosa News reported yesterday on a new home for a famous Monument to the Ten Commandments. The controversial display that was originally installed by Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore in the lobby of the State Judicial Building will now be housed at CrossPoint Community Southern Baptist Church in Gadsden, Alabama. The 5280 pound monument will be placed in the church's gathering room outside its new sanctuary. In a long legal battle beginning in 2001, Moore was ordered by courts to take down the monument; he refused; and ultimately he was removed from office.
