...Harvard-Radcliffe Christian Fellowship. Similarly, the editor of the Christian journal Harvard Ichthus, Jordan L. Hylden ’06, argued that renaming the tree did not advance the goal of inclusivity. “We should be celebrating our religious diversity, instead of covering it up with bland inanities about ‘holiday trees,’” Hylden said.
