In 1934 the city of San Francisco erected a cross, 103 feet tall and 39 feet
across, on the top of Mt. Davidson in a public park. For years "Easter" services
were held there. But in March of 1997 the Supreme Court ruled that the presence
of the cross violated the state Constitution of California. Unless city
officials can find a way to transfer ownership of the cross, it will have to
come down. The apostle Paul and the apostle Peter were both right when they
wrote about the offense of the cross. (I Corinthians 1:23: Romans 9:32, I Peter
2:8)
