Project Moses was inspired in the summer of 2000, when a Ten Commandments monument was removed from the Wyandotte County Courthouse lawn in Kansas City after the American Civil Liberties Union threatened to sue over what it claimed was a violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution.
Over the last 25 years, respect and admiration for God’s sacred Commandments have fallen victim to both apathy and hostility. Under a distorted interpretation of the founding intent of “separation of church and state,” God’s laws are being systematically torn from the fabric of American culture.
This is a dangerous direction for the United States, leading our nation to a deeper state of subjective morality and individual license.
Project Moses wants to establish 7000 Ten Commandment monuments at churches, synagogues, religious schools and private properties to fund the completion of a $10 million memorial, similar in scope to the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, to the Decalogue in Washington, D.C.
A 6.5 acre site on private property, in Washington D.C., has been identified and made available to Project Moses, however, the National Park Service has been contacted in an effort to secure a site on the National Mall. No matter which site is chosen, Project Moses and the memorial organizers hope to have the national memorial ready for visitors by 2009. The center pieces of this memorial will be an 18- to 24-foot bronze statue of Moses and an enormous stone slate of the commandments.
God proclaimed the Ten Commandments to provide direction for his people to live a better life, grounded in the love of God and neighbor. Project Moses was founded to promote a clear understanding and strong adherence to the Ten Commandments and to assist all people in embracing the essential duties of living a life of truth, charity and justice.
