Church Gives 10 Commandments Display To Kentucky County

Now that the Kentucky legislature has enacted a law permitting the display in public buildings of the Ten Commandments along with other texts that highlight Kentucky's historic, cultural, political, and general heritage, today's Lexington Herald-Leader reports that religious groups are pushing to have the new law implemented. The Body of Christ Ministries has given the Lexington-Fayette County Urban County Council a set of framed documents, which include the Ten commandments, the Declaration of Independence, the preamble to the Kentucky Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It hopes they will be displayed at the courthouse, county annex or city hall. The group has distributed similar documents to 12 Kentucky counties since 2003. The Lexington-Fayette Council voted 9-1 Tuesday to draft a resolution accepting the display.
