This extended recovery mission will require a team committed for the long haul as well as a multilateral approach that spreads responsibility amongst all members of the world community.

The College needs to recognize sooner or later that many students currently use a distinctively religious vocabulary, with all its metaphysical baggage, to address these same questions. And until the advantages of a faith-based approach to questions outside of students’ career or academic choices can be shown to be inappropriate for some students’ needs, Harvard should not be afraid to foster a distinctively religious dialogue...
