Angel statue removed from Indiana park (February 6, 2017)

FFRF was informed that a statue of an angel with its hands clasped in prayer had been put up in a public park in Kokomo, Ind. The display conferred government endorsement of Christianity over all other faiths or no faith.

FFRF Legal Fellow Madeline Ziegler wrote to the Kokomo Parks and Recreation Department’s superintendent on June 3, 2015, asking that the statue be removed from the park or to a more private location.

After several follow-ups, FFRF was informed on Feb. 6 of this year that the statue had been removed by the city park department’s new superintendent.
