67 Undergraduate students should critique themselves, their world views, their congregations and denominations, their faiths, and their ethical frameworks, and can do so effectively through study-abroad. They should, in effect, shake their foundations, but they need not discard them. Some will, no doubt, revise considerably their prior foundational understandings and commitments, and a few will remove them fully.
