The cross has been a symbol of Christianity long before the Klu Klux Klan existed.
I see no reason for any Christian group to give it up. Rather than let it stand for the KKK, they should use it so much that the image is planted in everyone's mind as a Christian symbol.
When I visited San Francisco, I brought home t shirts for everyone. They had the golden gate bridge on them and said, "San Francisco." One of my daughters refused to wear hers because it was purple. She would wear a black or blue or green or any other color of t shirt that said San Francisco, but not one that was purple, because that was the color the homosexuals have claimed. My question is why have we given it to them?
As good friend has the middle name of Gaye. She is 58 years old, and today is careful not to reveal her middle name. What once stood for happy and delighted has been surrendered to mean homosexual or lesbian. Why??
When something stands for something good, we should not surrender the meaning away to something else. Many black churches use the symbol of the cross and IMO, they should continue to do so, and help restore the former significance, and discredit any other claim to it.
