By Alexander Pope

Clears, and improves whate'er it shines upon,
It gilds all objects, but it alters none."

BU Launches Virtual Concert Hall
Symphony Hall performances now available online
|
When Melanie Burbules (CFA'14) walked onto the stage of Symphony Hall last spring to perform in a BU production of Felix Mendelssohn's Elijah, both of her parents were watching, despite the fact that her father was stationed in Baghdad and her mother was home in Chicago. Each viewed a live-stream of the performance on a computer. Although many miles and worlds away from each other, the Burbuleses were able to share a simultaneous moment of pride as parents.

Transforming the Conversation:
LGBTQIA Narratives, Theologies, and Action
Thursday, February 16
Thursday, February 23
Thursday, March 1
- February 16, 2012 - Panel One: Transformational Narrative(s). This panel will emphasize the experiences of LGBTQI individuals and straight allies who have fought for full inclusion in religious organizations. Panelists will share their personal narratives and offer insight into how they: understand the struggle for equality; collaborate with others in advocacy work; minister to-and dialogue with-congregants and conversational partners on both sides of LGBT issues; and engage in self-care.
- February 23, 2012 - Panel Two: Transformational Theology. This panel will consist of theologians and scholars who can offer historical perspectives on the topic of queerness and religion. They will discuss contemporary queer theology as it currently stands and anticipate where the field may move in the future. Conversation will illuminate queer theology and explain how queer theory undergirds and strengthens the "ground-level" struggle for LGBTQIA inclusion. Focusing upon praxis, panelists will highlight the ways in which theory and action intersect.
- March 1, 2012 - Panel Three: Transformational Action. This panel will address macro-level ecumenical and denominational priorities pertaining to the struggle for LGBTQIA equality. Panelists from a variety of backgrounds will share insight into the inclusion work that has been undertaken in their denominations and organizations. Which actions and approaches have worked? Which have been less successful? What challenges and opportunities exist? Dialogue also will address important ecumenical questions. Should different denominations be doing more together? If so, what should they do? Audience members will walk away from the evening with information about how they can become involved in denominational and ecumenical inclusion work.

The Institute on Culture, Religion and World Affairs is a center for research, publication, and education on one of the most important questions in the contemporary world: How does culture affect economic and political developments world-wide? Specifically, how does religion impact international affairs? Since its inception in 1985, CURA has sought to discover, trace, and analyze the connection between culture, economics, politics, and globalization. We have conducted research projects on every continent except Australia, and these projects have resulted in publications that have become major points of reference on their topics. In a dynamic and modernizing world, CURA's ultimate agenda is to further global understanding and communication.
