 Global Engagement Brown Bag Lunch
Tuesday, November 6, 2012
12:00pm
STH Rm. 311
Art, religion, and politics have been seen by many Christian traditions through history as incompatible but motive magazine artists Peg Rigg, Robert Hodgell, and Jim Crane combined all three in a unique and powerful way.
Two examples--a Crane cartoon from 1960 and a Hodgell print from 1968, both addressing income inequality--can be seen on the Center's website: http://www.bu.edu/cgcm/2012/10/31/
On Tuesday, Ada Focer, the CGCM Research Director, will report on her trip to Florida last week to interview Crane, the motive cartoonist, and view the works in the recent Eckerd College exhibit, "Hodgell in an Election Year." Using images, we will open a conversation about using art to communicate a political and theological message. Bring your lunch.
Beverages and dessert will be provided.
Please RSVP to Liz Parsons at parsonse@bu.edu.

 Workshop: "Economic-Based Financial Planning for Seminarians, Clergy and Laypersons"
Wednesday, November 7, 2012
5:30pm
STH 325
You are cordially invited to a special workshop on Wednesday, November 7. This workshop will spotlight the outstanding and eye-opening research of a Boston University faculty member to the BU community and the general public.
Dr. Laurence J. Kotlifoff, a William Fairfield Professor of Economics at Boston University and a leading expert on personal finance, will discuss how students and clergy can help themselves and their parishioners achieve higher and safer living standards with neither "help" from Wall Street nor heavenly miracles. We hope you will attend what promises to be a terrific workshop and that you will encourage others to take part in this extraordinary event.
Refreshments will be served prior to a workshop.
Please RSVP to Valentina Pride at: vp@bu.edu

 Film Screening: "The People and the Olive"
Monday, November 12, 2012
5:15pm
STH Hartman Rm. B-23
Since the year 2001, Israeli barrier construction, forces, and settlers have uprooted, burnt and destroyed more than 548,000 Palestinian olive trees that belong to Palestinian farmers and land owners. Most of these trees were hundreds or possibly even thousands of years old. An ancient symbol of peace, olive trees have now become the focus of peacebuilding efforts in Palestine-Israel, as part of a replanting and peacebuilding campaign involving many churches, organizations, and nations.
Join THecology, the Religion and Conflict Transformation program, and CAUSE Justice on Monday, November 12th, for a screening of a new film, "The People and the Olive," which documents the brave and inspiring efforts of a group of Jewish and non-Jewish runners helping replant olive trees, and in the process, hope. All are welcome!
5:15 pm: Light Dinner
5:45 pm: Film
7:00 pm: Discussion
