In Monterey, California the city prepares to try to restore a cross in which was cut down by vandals. The city came up with a price in which they must reach in order to restore the cross. For them to get this amount of money, they have come up with a fundraiser as part of a legal defense fund. The cross is a 20 foot cross which stood for forty solid years until being cut down. This action led to questioning the seperation between the church and the state. A lawsuit also seems to be filed by the city once the cross is restored and standing.
I find this act by the vandals being very immature and pointless. Cutting down a cross with such meaning is extremely disrespectful to not only to the community but also to God. It is seen as a slap in the face considering the amount of time the cross was there before being sawed down.The good thing is that they are trying to raise money for the cross to get out back which shows how much the community really cares and how much passion they have for their God and religion. Many people would not want to spend money on such things like this but these people managed to donate some money for the better of their city.
