A New 10 Commandments Display Approved By Indiana City

The Anderson, Indiana City Council has voted unanimously in favor of allowing Lone Oak Wesleyan Church to begin raising $12,000 for a granite monument of the Ten Commandments that will be placed on the front lawn of the city building. Yesterday's Fort Wayne News-Sentinel, in reporting on the development, quoted one church member as saying that the Ten Commandments monument "has nothing to do with religion". He insisted that the Ten Commandments were the basis of modern law, and said that the church would pay legal fees if the city were sued over the display. In something of an understatement, Ken Falk, an attorney for the ACLU of Indiana said that the "display is problematic".
