William & Mary's ad hoc committee on the cross announced its compromise solution: put the Wren
Chapel cross in a place of honor -- in a glass case with a plaque
noting the chapel's Anglican roots. The decision seems appropriate
for a secular institution, especially because the prime argument
for the cross was historical. Of course, such a move makes one
think that the Christian aspects of the chapel are only in the
past. The church as museum. Reminds me of St. Paul's. Maybe William
& Mary can open the Wren Chapel to corporate events.
