WILLIAMSBURG -- College of William and Mary officials removed a 2-foot-high gold cross from the altar of the Sir Christopher Wren Building chapel this week, in an effort to modify the historic chapel into a nondenominational space.

The cross is now kept in a nearby storage closet, near communion wine bottles and other religious articles.

Alums of W&M should demonstrate their displeasure through their pocketbooks.I think the Fellows of the University would get the message if tons of envelopes arrived containing a $1 donation and a little note.

Chapel? I'm offended. Shouldn't it be called a fellowship hall?

The usual democrat party desecration of America. This goes on every day somewhere in the US, as crosses are removed and thrown into closets or garbage cans.

The new Chancellor at Wm. and Mary is former SCOTUS member, Sandra Day O'Conner. We should not be surprised by this move.The continuing saga to remove religion for all facets of American life.
Can you imagine the outrage if a Chancellor of a Musim University removed the Koran from the Mosque?
Why is there no outrage about removing a "cross" from a chapel?

Ever notice the only people offended by the CROSS on public display are Liberal Lawyers?

Why doesn't William and Mary (a once great institution) just turn over the chapel to the Wiccans (read: Satanic worshipers) and complete the downward spiral.

No surprise. By 2050 there will be no functioning Christian church left in America. We'll all be Muslim or non-believers paying Sharia tax to Muslims.
