They tell us to traipse the planet, learn languages and intern in rural villages—all in the name of a “meaningful” study abroad experience. What, though, constitutes a “meaningful” abroad experience? Is it a five-week summer program in Rio de Janeiro that comes conveniently with a Harvard stamp of approval and a corresponding price...
...That absence seems to have started at almost precisely the time she began tending the poor and dying in Calcutta, and - except for a five-week break in 1959 - never abated. Although perpetually cheery in public, the Teresa of the letters lived in a state of deep and abiding spiritual pain. In more than 40 communications, many of which have never before been published, she bemoans the "dryness," "darkness," "loneliness" and "torture" she is undergoing.

The five-week New York Times best seller (now at No. 8) attacks faith philosophically and historically as well as scientifically, but leans heavily on Darwinian theory, which was Dawkins' expertise as a young scientist and more recently as an explicator of evolutionary psychology so lucid that he occupies the Charles Simonyi professorship for the public understanding of science...
