FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A controversial monument of the Ten Commandments and a replica of the Liberty Bell will be displayed at a Fort Lauderdale church, according to church leaders.

Moving crew prepares to move Ten Commandments monument from rotunda in September 2003.

Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's Ten Commandments monument and a 1-ton, life-size replica of the Liberty Bell arrived today at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church at 5555 N. Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale.

A federal court ruled that the Ten Commandments monument had to be removed from the rotunda of Alabama's state judicial building in November 2003.

The monument will be on display as part of a tour arranged by the American Veterans in Domestic Defense and the Reclaiming America For Christ conference.

The monument will remain on a flatbed truck in the church's parking lot through Sunday. The church said the public is welcome to view the monument. There is no charge.
