The Christian Broadcast Network website reports today (April 5, 2010) that Shirley Chaplin, a Christian nurse in England, was told to remove her crucifix. She refused to remove a necklace bearing a crucifix, saying it would "violate her faith."
Now she is suing the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Hospital.
Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, says this is the latest example of a "strange mixture of contempt and fear" against Christianity.
"Is the God we see in the cross -- the God who lives through and beyond terrible dereliction and death and still promises mercy, renewal, life -- is that God too much of a menace to be mentioned or shown in the public life and the human interactions of society?" Williams asked while speaking at Canterbury Cathedral.
