The College of William and Mary has decided to remove a bronze cross from the Wren Chapel to make the chapel open to all religions. This is another example of the decline of Christianity to make way for other religions.

In October of 2006, W&M President Gene Nichol decided the bronze cross that sits on Wren Chapel's altar should be kept in the chapel's sacristy to make the chapel,  used for religious services, weddings and as a nonreligious meeting space for students, open to people of all faiths. "Our chapel, like our entire campus, must be welcoming to all," he said in a letter to the students.

Through student and alumni protests, the cross has been placed back on display on Sundays, but that's irrelevant. It's not the Wren Mosque or the Wren Synagoge, it's the Wren Chapel. Why do they feel the need to be "PC" with a building that is a part of this country's history?

Built in 1699, it is one of the oldest buildings in Williamsburg. This chapel represents the foundation on which this country was built, our Chrisitan faith. Plus the fact this was not done by the university because of protests or complaints by the students, they did it on their own accord.

This is just another example of how universities and colleges are turning their backs on their Chrisitan heritage. The article gave another example at John Hopkins University, where a methodist church was converted into a interfaith center and how stained glass windows are covered by shutters.

I'm sorry but this is unacceptable. I believe in religious freedom for all, but not at the expense of Christians because it's "politically correct."
