God and god at Yale After two hundred years, Yale has severed its official relationship with the Congregational Church, and yesterday that church held its last Sunday service at Yale's Battell Chapel.

This is a painful decision for everyone involved, but it seems an inevitable one. At a campus of increasing diversity, how could one denomination claim a monopoly on Yale's church?

I know that Larry Summers feels the same way about Harvard's Memorial Church, and that Peter Gomes, the minister at that church, adamantly disagrees. As campus life at Harvard has been quiet the past few weeks, I suggest that President Summers raise this issue at Commencement. Just to be provocative.

Kidding aside, it would be an interesting debate for the campus....  ¶ 8:46 AM
