"It wouldn't suprise me if the chapel eventually will be converted into a mosque."

Or a synagogue, perhaps. Last I heard, the Jews don't believe in the symbol of the cross, either.

MM, that's not the issue—and you know it. This is about the College trying to remove a Christian symbol from a room that has been a Christian chapel for almost 300 years! (2032 isn't that long away...) Can't the school provide some other space for its non-Christian students, whether Jewish, Hebrew, or Muslim, that would not interfere with the accurate portrayal of the College's Christian heritage and history? (The Wren Chapel is a part of Colonial Williamsburg, which is a "living museum" of the Commonwealth's second capital, and as such, should be expected to realistically depict life in the 18th century!)

Or is nothing Christian allowed to be sacred any more?

Most Respecfully,
