Save the Wren Chapel - Fight Dhimmitude
Save the Wren Chapel - I have just be in contact with an individual working to save the Wren Chapel at The College of William and Mary in this lastest and most egregious assault upon our history, our heritage, and our culture by one in leadership within one of our most revered universities. This president, Gene Nichol, and other college/university presidents like him are entrusted with the preservation of integrity in our heritage as a nation, not subverting it. See Save the Wren Chapel - a must read for the historical background of the Wren Chapel. See Putting Christ in the closet at the Gates of Vienna. If you want more info do a search on Wren Cross on Google. This is an issue worth fighting for. Only citizens can stop this egregious assault. To think an attack of this sort would be led by a president of The College of William and Mary, an institution that Thomas Jefferson graduated from, one of the three most important things he wanted to be remembered for: Graduating from The College of William and Mary Writing the Declaration of Independence Founding the Unveristy of Virginia Shame upon the President of The College of William and Mary. As a Virginian, as a graduate from The College of William and Mary, I am ashamed of the president's roll-over to dhimmitude on the altar of political correctness. Shame on him. I don't care if he is a "weak sister" taking orders from someone else or just a revisionist, the Alumni need to use their force of power to get rid of him and to restore the Wren Cross to its proper place. Also consider, with the removal of the Wren Cross to a closet, the Wren Chapel no longer has its historical place as a chapel, it is now relegated to a meditation room, or worse. Yeah, this has me a bit over the edge but if this won't make you understand the threat, then nothing will. In addition to all of the other insults and attacks, Nichol has also slapped the parishoners of the esteemed Bruton Parish Church in the face. As you recall, this is the church within the bounds of Colonial Williamsburg in which you may sit in the family box pews of such men as Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Patrick Henry, Peyton Randolph, and more.

You don't have to have graduated from The College of William and Mary or to be a resident of Virginia to make your voice heard against this assault upon the very freedoms upon which we were founded: Save the Wren Chapel Cross There are times to sit and watch; there are times to close you checkbooks and keep your alumni dollars in your own closet; there are times for action. Now is the time and this is a call to action. Enough is enough!

This thing is far more sinister than 'not offending'. There is the heritage aspect - yes and the man has a gall to even think of removing a heritage icon. That said, this man clearly embodies the dualistic moral relativism which permeates the intitutions of higher learning and it's not wishy-washyness in the least - it's a concerted, quiet, cynical attack on Christianity. I'm no Theocon, as the Baron puts it, but this thing with Wren is quite clearly a theological attack. There's no doubt about it. And he's not going to get away with it.
When I visited William and Mary in 1998, Margaret Thatcher held some kind of honorary position there - honorary President or something like that.
I wonder if this is still the case, and, if so, if an email to her office might produce a response of some kind? I can't imagine she'd approve.
Thank you. I have checked, Lady Margaret Thatcher was the Chancellor. Sandra Day O'Connor holds that position now and, voting for institutionalized discrimination as she did while on the Supreme Court - if memory serves - I doubt that she'd care. So much the pity.
