Airport Chapels Removing Christian Symbols
ATLANTA, GA – While U.S. airports often have chapels, many of them no longer display crosses or other symbols that would make them specific to a particular faith.
The chapel at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport features a silhouette of a person kneeling and a generic stained-glass window.
It also has a library stocking everything from Gideon Bibles to Jewish mystical texts, and a large floor mat provides a cushiony spot to kneel for prayer.
A large compass on the chapel floor helps guide Muslims who pray toward Mecca.
Atlanta’s airport chaplain is a United Methodist, but has become a jack of all faiths. He says rosaries, yarmulkes, prayer shawls, and a Catholic Mass kit are tucked away for use as needed.
