Wren Cross - out of the closet and into a glass case
Just a note - March 7, 2007, Fox News, The Big Story with John Gibson had a short report that the Wren Cross has been returned to the Wren CHAPEL on display within a glass case and a short plaque. The cross will not be behind the altar - its proper place and the CHAPEL will not be open to religious symbols from other religions. How much desecration can one CHAPEL have placed upon it? I still think President Nichol is no friend of the College of William and Mary and the sooner he leaves the better. NOTE: his contract is up in a year and a half. Anyone know the Marine Corp hymn - from the shores of Tripoli? Anyone know why? Consult history of Thomas Jefferson who sent the Marines to Tripoli to stop the killing of our sailors by the - hmmm - slips my memory... What a compromise by nichol! Now, when will a replica of the orgininal marble tablet of the Ten Commandments on the wall of the Wren Chapel?

I am willing to bet that this glass case has handles on each side.
Scenario:
"A Muslim group wants to visit the chapel. What should we do?"
"Glad we put that damn cross in that glass case. Just carry it out before they visit and stuff it in the closet behind the stairs."
The stacked committee returned a stacked "compromise". So now, at William and Mary, Christianity is an historical artefact in a glass case, like an indian moccasin or ancient Greek vase in a museum.
This is even worse that Nichol's original compromise. And of course it would be; did anyone really think that this ACLU devotee, this president who said he would resign if repudiated, would not appoint a committee that would do his bidding?
Sorry to see that over at www.save thewrencross.org there is a capitulatory note from the editors,we can no longer see the list of signatories, and at the blog we can no longer see the video of the cross removal. Everyone put up a great fight -- such wonderful writing! -- but Nichol is an old hand at chipping away at America and her values.
Grad, please copy your comment and paste it over at the blog and the .org as well. Very good analysis and more folks need to see it. I'll copy and send in e-mail to some of the folks. Thanks.
