Ten Commandments new addition to church property

HARRISBURG, Ill. (ABP) -- A Baptist pastor in southern Illinois believes
before heads of local government can be expected to support posting the
Ten Commandments on taxpayer property the churches should be posting
them on their own lands.

Leroy Hicks, pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church in Mitchellsville, Ill.,
brought the idea up before the church and members agreed.

Since Dec. 22 two stone monuments bearing five commandments each have been in the church's front yard.
