Harvard clash ends as Buttrick allows weddings for all faiths
The Rev. George Buttrick reversed his stand at Harvard Memorial Church allowing weddings and funerals for all religious persuasions after a campus dispute over Jewish students marrying a rabbi. The debate highlighted broader questions on Christian mission and religious exclusivity in a changing world.
