As one who has been a member of the College of Arms through the last 
*three* times this issue came up, let me point out that it is *MUNDANE* 
religious prejudices that needed to be overcome.

The only reason the ban was upheld in the 1990s was that too many non-SCA 
people in certain areas of the USA would have seen this as an 
ANTI-religious symbol, which would have been horrid P.R. for the SCA which 
already had a shaky reputation in some of those areas. In the past dozen 
years quite a bit has changed, in this case for the better.
