Just which commandments are the 10 Commandments?
Don Lattin, Chronicle Religion Writer Tuesday, August 26, 2003
Let's say the Supreme Court of the United States allows the chief justice of the great state of Alabama to keep his 2-ton monument to the Ten Commandments in his office building in Montgomery.
Next question:
Which Ten Commandments?

Prayer death arrest
26aug03
AN autistic eight-year-old boy died while being restrained in a sheet during a Milwaukee church prayer service held in an attempt to cure him.
A man connected with the small storefront church was arrested, police and a church official said yesterday.
Several members of the Faith Temple Church of the Apostolic Faith prayed over him for more than an hour on Friday night until someone noticed he wasn't moving, Bishop David Hemphill Sr said.
'The boy just had a problem in his mind . . . (God) chose to fix it by taking him back home to him,' he said. "
