Critics of 10 Commandments Display Testify In Michigan

MLive in Lansing, Michigan, reports that the state's 12-member Capitol Committee yesterday heard testimony from critics of a proposal to initiate display of the Ten Commandments at the capitol building. (See prior posting.) Wayne State University law professor Robert Sedler told the committee, made up of state lawmakers and representatives of the Governor, "In the American constitutional system, the place for God is in the home, the church, the synagogue, the mosque and the temple. By keeping God out of the public square and putting God into our homes and our religious institutions, the Constitution protects the religious freedom of all of us." The Committee is moving toward requesting a legal opinion on the matter from Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox.
