Organization Urges More Creches On Public Property

The Thomas More Law Center last week began a drive to increase the number of Nativity displays on public property this Christmas season. Announcing that it had reached an agreement with two Florida cities (Palm Beach Gardens and North Miami), the organization is urging its supporters to ask governments for permission to erect Nativity displays where they have not previously existed. Its release urging Christians to retake the public square says that a Nativity scene may constitutionality be displayed on public property so long as the display includes secular items, as well as in public forums such as parks.
