COLUMBUS -- Under an order from Gov. Ted Strickland, Nativity scenes removed from two state parks have been put back up.
The Christmas manger displays in Shawnee State Park in Scioto County and Malabar Farm in Richland County had been taken down after a complaint from a Shawnee visitor. He argued that large figures representing the Hindu and Zoroastrian religions should be displayed, too.
Strickland spokesman Keith Dailey says the governor decided last week that the Nativity scenes should be restored to the state parks because they're appropriate and traditional.
Dailey says a Zoroastrian symbol would not be acceptable, because it's not traditionally displayed for the holidays.

I just want to say that your message on "Christmas" two sundays ago was a powerful message that needs to be heard more and preached more from the pulpit of the church. I have been in church for the biggest part of my life and have never heard it preached like that. As christians we have more influence on society than we choose to realize. There is power in numbers and we need to stand up for our savior. Keep preaching the word Pastor Wolf. Every week I get your podcasts and they are such a blessing. Have a Merry Christmas!!
Keep up the good work.
