The cover of the Duke Magazine this quarter or bimensuel, or whatever every two months is, has some Buddhist students sitting cross-legged (lotus position) on oriental rugs (quite nice, but hey, they’re Dukies, they can afford it), doing the Ooommmmm thing.

In Duke Chapel.

In front of a cross on a drapery on a mausoleum in the crypt, where the Duke family is buried, kinda like the kings and queens and bishops in Westminster Abbey. But they are sitting on nice Duke-blue lotus-position-cushions, I see; not on the stone floor.

If Duke Chapel were a Catholic edifice with a font and holy water, would the Muslims wash their feet in there?

Multicultuversity?
