The granite Ten Commandments monument that was at the center of Roy Moore’s courthouse challenge has finally found a new home<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Which sounds like just the right place for it, and I (sincerely) hope that the congregation there gets both enjoyment and inspiration from it.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

And, again, that’s just ducky. It sounds like the perfect thing to have at a school.<\/p>\n

A private, Christian<\/em> school, that is.<\/p>\n
