As a graduate student in a large university, I often attended daily Mass in a small chapel in the Divinity School. Imagine my consternation when one day I was told we had to move into the cavernous modern chapel.
It seems we mere Christians were displaced so the Muslims could have the chapel. They could hide the altar cross during their prayer sessions, while the big chapel had a permanent cross that was horribly offensive to them.
Catholics comprised 25% of the student body. I doubt Muslims were even 1% at the time. Yet the squeaky wheel, etc. The administration knew we would accept the change meekly, in a spirit of forgiveness. I wonder what would have happened if the Muslims hadn’t gotten their way.
I hope you don’t take offense and you certainly don’t have to answer...but how long ago did this incident take place.
I’m curious how long this has gone on, with no media attention. Not that there is a great deal now.
