77' Cross Goes Up In Texas Subdivision Prayer Garden

By Howard M. Friedman

Following a settlement last March of a lawsuit attempting to prevent The Coming King Foundation (TCKF) from placing a 77-foot tall cross in a Kerrville, Texas subdivision (see prior posting), on Tuesday the $2 million, 70-ton sculpture was erected overlooking Texas I-10, half way between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. A press release from TCKF says the sculpture called The Empty Cross, which is part of a 23-acre sculpture prayer garden, will be admission free. However, over $2 million still needs to be raised in order to build a parking lot entrance and interior roads that will allow the park to be opened to the public. In the meantime, guided tours are available, as is live streaming video of the Cross.
