Acknowledgements The only thing greater than the many obligations I incurred during the research and writing of this work is the pleasure that I take in acknowledging those debts. It would have been impossible for me to undertake, much less complete, this project without the support of the institutions and people who helped me along the way. Archival research is the sine qua non of history; mine was funded by numerous grants supporting work in repositories from California to Massachusetts. A Friends Fellowship from the McNeil Center for Early American Studies supported my first year of research in the Philadelphia archives and also immersed me in the intellectual ferment and camaraderie for which the Center is justly renowned. A Dissertation Fellowship from the Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History provided months of support to work in the daunting Manuscript Division of the New York Public Library. The Chandis Securities Fellowship from the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens brought me to San Marino and gave me entrée to an unequaled library of primary and secondary sources, in one of the most beautiful spots on Earth.

  • Multifaith Continuing Education: Leading Faithfully in a Religiously Diverse World
    Justus Baird: Multifaith Ed for “Lifelong Call to Learn” 9/17/08 1 Multifaith Continuing Education: Leading Faithfully in a Religiously Diverse World Justus N. Baird As a rabbi who directs a multifaith center in a Christian seminary, I often get asked about multifaith education. People ask me, “What curriculum should I use?” or “How can we teach our students about other religions?” Even more often I get asked, “Do you know a Muslim I can invite to speak at our program?” But rarely do I get asked, “Why should we be doing interfaith education at all?” A rabbinic colleague of mine put it to me this way: “I just can’t articulate why interfaith is important to focus on,” he said. What worries him most about serving his congregation is not how much his congregants know about other faiths. “Other than making sure we can all just get along, why does this matter?” he asked. Let’s be honest: most of us know precious little about our own religious traditions, so why should we spend our valuable time learning about other faiths? The aim of this chapter is to articulate what multifaith education is, why it should be part of any continuing education program, and address some of the challenges that confront multifaith education. Part one answers the ‘why do interfaith?’ question articulated by my colleague and makes the case for including multifaith learning in any continuing education program. Part two defines multifaith education and describes various approaches to multifaith education. Part three articulates the challenges and barriers to multifaith education.

  • As the Harvard University, Boston
    As the Harvard University, Boston Uni versity, and Tufts University chapters of the American Student Dental Association (ASDA), a student-run organization that represents the rights, interests and welfare of 22,000 dental students across the country, we urge you to change the requirements for initial dental licensure. Currently there are over 463 dental school graduates in Massachusetts that cannot get licensed. Dental students are required to take an exam that involves performing procedures on patients. As a result of dental school clinic closures due to COVID-19, students are unable to take the exam. We are asking you to change licensure requirements now to allow for the following exams to be accepted as new alternatives to current licensure requirements. • Dental Licensure Objective Structured Clinical Exam (DLOSCE). This exam will be released on June 15 and will be administered by the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations (JCNDE). The DLOSCE is a high-stakes licensure examination consisting of multiple, standardized stations, each of which will require candidates to use their clinical skills to successfully complete one or more dental problem solving tasks without performing procedures on a patient. • American Board of Dental Examiners (ADEX) CompeDont DTX. It is a non-patient-based restorative examination that utilizes the CompeDont™ DTX, a new manikin tooth technology developed by the CDCA and Acadental, Inc. • Western Regional Examining Board (WREB) manikin simulation exam. • ASDA recommends the manikin-based alternatives are adopted in lieu of the patient based restorative and periodontal portions. Recent dental school graduates can play a critical role in helping address the wide-ranging impacts of COVID-19.

  • Interfaith Formation for Religious Leaders in a Multifaith Society: Between Meta-Spiritualities and Strong Religious Profiles
    Interfaith Formation for Religious Leaders in a Multifaith Society: Between Meta-Spiritualities and Strong Religious Profiles Tabitha Walther Religious leaders today need new skills to meet the religiously pluralistic societies in which they serve. The aim of this essay is to explore this plur- alistic challenge and find approaches that would effectively educate relig- ious leaders for the multireligious context in which they will serve as religious professionals. Cultural and religious diversity is not new. What is new is that this plur- alism is experienced by every citizen and not just by cultural or religious mi- norities. Western societies have been pluralized. Migration and globalization have hastened this process of pluralization in ways previously unknown. Re- ligious leaders for today and tomorrow need to develop tools to serve effec- tively in a multireligious context. They will not just minister to their own people, but beyond their own faith traditions, in between them, and within multiple religious traditions. This is true for a religious community that is multi-religious at its boundaries, as well as for public institutions with multi- religious populations, such as prisons, hospitals, schools, and universities. Tabitha Walther, LTheol, lecturer and trained hospital chaplain, Faculty of Theology, The University of Basel, Missionstrasse 17a, 4055 Basel, Switzerland (E-mail: Tabitha.Walther @unibas.ch). Reflective Practice: Formation and Supervision in Ministry WALTHER 129 Religious pluralism knows many manifestations and is known in all religious traditions. People who are grounded in multiple religious trad- itions, in New Age thought, or people who combine teachings from various religious traditions, ask for spiritual support at critical life moments.

  • What Do College Students Want? a Student-Centered Approach to Multifaith Involvement
    Journal of Ecumenical Studies, 45:1, Winter 2010 WHAT DO COLLEGE STUDENTS WANT? A STUDENT-CENTERED APPROACH TO MULTIFAITH INVOLVEMENT Paul V. Sorrentino PRECIS The author presents research findings about the preferences of college students as they consider coming together with people of other faiths in multifaith settings. He discusses what works well and what does not. Select quotations from interviews are included. The author suggests a practical model for multifaith work on campus based on the principles represented in the acronym “RAM.” Multifaith involvement should include being Respectful toward the beliefs of others, being Authentic to one’s own tradition, and having Meaningful interreligious interaction. Introduction Our university and college campuses focus a great deal of attention on di- versity. This is a proper focus and one that is needed in our society. Religious diversity, however, is often left off the agenda and may be subsumed under a rising tide of secular animosity that says there is no place for religious expres- sion in the academy. The raison d'être of an academic institution is education. We must decide how religion and religious diversity fits into that goal. Should we safeguard the academic enterprise, viewed as largely secular, by making religious expression a private matter? Do we enhance learning by exposing students to various forms of religion? If so, what is the best way to do it? How do we respect differences __________________ Paul V. Sorrentino (Conservative Congregational Christian Conference) has been Director of Reli- gious Life at the Cadigan Center for Religious Life at Amherst (MA) College since 2000, as well as serving Intervarsity Christian Fellowship since 1981 as a regional coordinator, team leader (Amherst College, since 1991), area director (in Western New England, 1985–91), and campus staff (Colby College, University of Maine, and Eastern Maine Vo Tech Institute (1981–85).
