Pa. man to remove illuminated cross from yard

BALDWIN, Pa. (AP) — A western Pennsylvania man has decided to take down the 24-foot illuminated cross in his yard that sparked a dispute with his neighbor.

Carl Behr says he’ll remove the cross from the yard of his Baldwin home saying it was too disruptive. He says he needs to be more humble and take a different approach to spreading his faith.

Neighbor Lisa Fera complained to the borough about the cross, saying it shined into her home. The borough issued a citation ordering Behr to remove it but he initially refused.

Fera said the problems started after she complained about Behr parking vehicles from his construction business in front of her house.

Behr said the cross measures his faith in God. Fera contended a good Christian would respect his neighbors.
