Ballot Measure On Alcohol Sales Raises Church-State Issues

In Arkansas City, Kansas, voters are being asked to vote to overturn city council's decision to permit the sale of alcohol on Sundays. The Ark City Traveler on Monday reported that many who oppose the ballot measure see it as an infringement on the separation of church and state, while some who support the ban on Sunday alcohol sales see it as supporting the mandate in the Ten Commandments to honor the Sabbath.
