...SPIRIT OF SONG. Kuumba, Harvard’s largest multicultural organization, returns to Sanders once again for its 33rd annual spring concert named for former Dean of Students Archie C. Epps III. A mix of Stevie Wonder, contemporary gospel and African folk songs will supplement five original, never-before-performed pieces all written by Harvard-affiliated composers: four alumni, Derrick Ashong ’97, Theodore Maynard ’97, Sheldon Reid ’97, and Shu Nyatta ’02, and one Harvard parent, Celeste Wortes.

And at least one major evangelical player expects his fieldworkers to show restraint. Says Clive Calver of World Relief, an agency owned by 43,000 American churches: "We're obviously not against spreading the Christian Gospel. But I don't want to be involved in anything where you give out food as a price tag for getting your message across...
