The $12 Million Dollar Cross

Removing the cross from the Wren Chapel at College of William & Mary may prove to be pretty expensive (from Special Report):

The College of William & Mary is facing the loss of a $12 million donation because of its recent removal of a cross from the school chapel. The decision last fall by President Gene Nichol to take down what is called the wren cross touched off a furious protest that is ongoing. And he admits in an e-mail that the loss of funds from the unidentified donor" represents a serious setback to the college."

Nichol has said he ordered the cross removed in order to make the chapel more receptive to people of other faiths. About 17,000 people have signed an online petition calling for the cross to be put back. William & Mary is the nation's second-oldest college — and was founded as an institution of the Anglican Church.

That $12 million won't be the end of it.
