...enter here to grow in religious wisdom? There are courses on religion, but experience is more powerful than scholastic involvement. For a start, go to one of the many churches in and around the Square, attend services at Hillel and read posters about Christian a cappella groups or the next event sponsored by the United Ministry, the umbrella group for religions at Harvard. Seek out the groups you feel you do not know enough about...
...Canaday E, its fourth cramped home in five years. This may be the most egregious case of a religious group needing its own place to worship, meet, eat and educate. Prominence would help Muslims and would help all Harvard students to understand more about Islam. At the Harvard-Radcliffe Hillel building, built in 1994, Jews and non-Jews alike eat in its dining hall and learn from its classes and its speakers, which in the past year have included Cornel R.

Similarly, Hillel and St. Paul's though superficially dedicated to such kin ventures as morality and God, differ on details like whether Christ is the messiah. Similar disagreements between The Crimson and Mass. Hall, and the Fly and Lampoon, need not be explicated. The point is this: urban planning can only do so much to make a community look and feel like one community. The rouge monotony that serves as Cambridge's controlling architectural...
