Mike Adams at Townhall has a good column on a display of "Christ-o-phobia" and arrogance by Gene Nichol, the new president of the College of William and Mary. Nichol decided to remove the cross from the altar of the college's Wren Chapel. The 2-foot gold cross had graced the altar since the Great Depression when Bruton Parish Church donated it to William and Mary. Those using the Chapel who didn't want the cross to be present could have it removed. In recent years, according to Adams, the cross was removed for approximately 15 to 20% of wedding celebrations in the Chapel. [Read More!]

New Blog Launched!
On December 5, 2006, W&M; grads (and bloggers) Karen Hall and BeachGirl launched the SaveTheWrenCrossBlog as a complementary effort of this web site.
SaveTheWrenCross.org and SaveTheWrenCrossBlog are part of a growing ad hoc coalition of students and alumni of the College of William & Mary in Virginia who are opposed to W&M;’s new President Gene Nichol’s October 2006 order to remove the 100 year old Wren Chapel Cross from permanent display on the altar table in the College’s 274 year old historically Anglican Wren Chapel.
Those who support restoring the Wren Cross represent a wide cross section of people – Christians, Jews, atheists, non-religious, liberals, conservatives. They also represent a wide cross section of perspectives.
SaveTheWrenCrossBlog is an opportunity to discuss those perspectives as well as share ideas and strategies to achieve the stated goal of the petition.
