Ind.Churches May Buy Land Where Cross Stands; Cross in Dugger Subject to Church-State Lawsuit

The Christian Post website reports today (July 26, 2012) that a group of Indiana churches is looking into purchasing a piece of public property near a major roadway that a cross was built on, as a way of keeping the cross from being taken down as a result of a possible church-state lawsuit.

The Faith Community Church of Dugger and others may raise the funds to purchase the land near Indiana 54 where a 26-foot tall cross with the words "Jesus Saves" currently stands.

Pastor Shawn Farris of Faith Community said that the plan to purchase the property was being seriously considered.

"That's what we're thinking so far, waiting on the town to get everything together," said Farris, whose congregation erected the cross display off Indiana 54 in 2010.
