As HDS embarks on its third century of leadership in the study of religion, it looks to bring religious literacy to hundreds of thousands of people through the use of digital technology; to become a truly global institution that draws students and scholars from around the world; and to meet the demand for religious knowledge that enables leaders to be more effective—and enables people everywhere to live richer, more meaningful lives. The only way to realize this ambitious vision is with the support of alumni and friends. Please make a gift today to the HDS Fund and join in the effort to educate ethical, religiously literate leaders in all fields who work for a better world. HDS Dean David N. Hempton with the deans of Harvard’s schools of education, law, and business “Harvard Divinity School’s work has never been more vital to our understanding of a complex world, to the well-being of our planet, and to the purpose of Harvard University.” —President Drew Faust Donate at www.hds.harvard.edu/gifts, or contact Michael Goetz at 617.496.5480, or giving@hds.harvard.edu. HDS has a history of opening to new voices. Since its founding 200 years ago, the School has expanded beyond its origins as a training ground for Protestant clergy to become an intellectually, culturally, and religiously diverse institution that reflects the reality of global pluralism. HDS’s nonsectarian, multireligious mission has never been more important than it is today. Your support is critical to that mission. Please make a gift to The HDS Fund and help us continue to reach across religious and cultural divides and to educate scholars and religiously literate leaders who work for a better world.

Professor Cornel West told counterdemonstrators that he had come “bearing witness to love and justice,” and then joined arms with religious leaders who included the Rev. Susan Frederick- Gray, MDiv ’01, the newly elected president of the Unitarian Universalist Association, and marched into the streets. When violence broke out, the Rev. Susan Hayward, MDiv ’07, joined with others to form a human shield for medics trying to tend to the wounded. Now is the time for courageous leaders like these— and now is the time to support the organization that shapes them. Please make a gift to HDS today and help prepare those who stand on the front lines of the struggle against hate and for social justice. “This is the moment we were made for.” —Rev.

That’s because gifts from alumni and friends enable HDS to send me and my classmates to hundreds of field education sites where we learn by serving those most in need. In my case, that meant a summer teaching at a house of corrections in western Massachusetts—one of the most rewarding times in my life. Support education in action.

Harvey Cox: “Make Trouble” Religion and theology are troublesome subjects. Study them critically, and you will inevitably vex the guardians of the status quo. For fifty years, now, I’ve been proud to be part of HDS’s effort to educate “troublemakers”—scholars and leaders who call into question ideologies and beliefs that are often taken for granted, and who know that we cannot ignore religion and theology and understand our world. It’s work that’s possible only with the support of the School’s alumni and friends. Be a troublemaker.
