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,

Apparently the college decided otherwise. If it is THE chapel for that college, then the decision makes sense to me.
The military does the same thing on small bases. If there is just one chapel, no symbols of a particular religion are in the chapel, except when there is a religious function in the chapel. If the Protestants are there, a plain cross is on the wall. If the Catholics are there, a crucifix is on the wall. If a Jewish service is being held, appropriate symbols for that service are brought out. And so on. It is how a single building can be a chapel for all persons on the base.
Looks to me like a similar thing is going here.
