The cross from the altar area of the chapel at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va., has been removed to ensure the space is seen as a nondenominational area, explains Melissa Engimann, assistant director for Historic Campus.

"In order to make the Wren Chapel less of a faith-specific space, and to make it more welcoming to students, faculty, staff and visitors of all faiths, the cross has been removed from the altar area," Engimann announced in an e-mail to staff.

The cross will be returned to the altar for those who wish to use it for events, services or private prayer.

The cross was in place because of the college's former association with the Anglican Church. Though the college is now nondenominational and became publicly supported in 1906, the room will still be considered a chapel, college officials said.

College removes cross – from chapel!

That's an OUTRAGE!

Why, a Republican would never let that happen. He might bugger an altarboy in the chapel, but he'd never let them take the cross away!

And on the subject of political party hypocrisy...the Democrats may do lots of chest beating about how terrible it was that the GOP leadership turned a blind eye to a gay pubie pederast placed in a position of authority (page board) that put him in regular contact with young Capitol Hill interns...HOWEVER, in the same breath, those same "protect the children" Democrat politicians promote gay marriage and adoption as a party platform, which would amount to doing the same thing as the aforementioned GOP crime of blind neglect but causing a risky situation in significantly larger proportions.

Pot kettle and all that irony good stuff…

With all due respect, christine, I think you are confusing the reprehensible actions and human flaws of individual bad apples ( who are present in both parties) with the focused and concerted legislation that 1 party, specifically the Democrat Party, promotes as an important aspect of its party platform, gay marriage and adoption, both of which are the antithesis of family values and which would create a potentially risky environment for children and youth in more ways than one.

It is one thing to say GOP individuals did not demonstrate good family values in their behavior, but the GOP supports the traditional family unit as being the best for raising children, while the opposite is true of the Democrat Party whose left wing liberal orientation causes it to support legislation aimed at dismantling one of the cornerstones of our society - the traditional family unit.
