Followup work will be done by those participating in this national gathering. The initial participation in this conference was by Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton, Brown and Wellesley as well as the World Conference on Religion and Peace. Over 200 people came to Brown in 1997 for a preliminary meeting and the total attendance at the conference exceeded the planners' highest expectations, attesting to the interest nationwide on the subject. Students often learn more from their peers than from their professors, primarily because they see their peers more often. Dialogue among students should be encouraged for the exploration of diversity.
Dialogue takes place at different levels.
Professors should act as facilitators, creating an environment in which moral growth and understanding can take place. The Board of Religious Affairs would welcome any comments or suggestions.
