[QUOTE="preston39, post: 289830, member: 1487"] "O'Connor new chancellor of cross-removing college Former Supreme Court justice oversaw ejection of Christian symbol from chapel Posted: October 27, 2006 5:00 p.m. Eastern © 2006 WorldNetDaily.com Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is the new chancellor of the College of William & Mary, which has taken the unusual step of removing a cross from its chapel in an effort to ensure the area is seen as a "non-denominational area." "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," administrator Melissa Engimann announced in an e-mail to the staff of the Williamsburg, Va., institution. 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. O'Connor, who in July announced her intention to retire as an associate justice, was subsequently named chancellor of the college, succeeding Henry Kissinger, former secretary of state, who was appointed in 2000."
