The granite Ten Commandments monument that was at the center of Roy Moore’s courthouse challenge has finally found a new home.
The 5,280-pound granite monument will be on display at CrossPoint Community Church [in Gadsden, AL]. Moore picked the site because he attends the church and because it operates a Christian school, said Rich Hobson, a spokesman for Moore and president of the Foundation for Moral law.
A ceremony is planned for 1:30 p.m. Friday to mark the installation of the monument in the gathering room outside the Southern Baptist church’s new sanctuary.
Which sounds like just the right place for it, and I (sincerely) hope that the congregation there gets both enjoyment and inspiration from it.
At CrossPoint Community Church, administrator Randy Stafford said Moore believes students need to see the Ten Commandments, and the church’s 600-student school, Coosa Christian School, played a major role in his decision on where to display the monument.
And, again, that’s just ducky. It sounds like the perfect thing to have at a school.
A private, Christian school, that is.
