College President Orders Cross Removed

Filed under: Uncategorized — shelray @ 9:06 pm

Will is asking for help in saving the Wren Cross:

 I’m a student at the College of William & Mary in Virginia. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s the second oldest college in the country. The Wren Building on campus, the oldest academic building in the US still in use, has a chapel attached to it. The College was originally part of the Anglican Church. Recently our new College President ordered the cross removed from the altar table and locked away unless specifically requested to be out on the altar, in order to make the chapel less “faith specific” and because the cross made some students feel unwelcome- despite an existing policy whereby the cross could be removed upon request. Figured you might be interested in the story, our website where people are signing the petition (we have 3200+ so far) to have the cross restored is: www.savethewrencross.org.
