LENTEN Opportunities

Psalm 46

Be still and know that I am God

Be still and know that I am

Be still and know

Be still

Be

You are invited to daily practices of personal and social holiness during the season of Lent.  The resources to encourage your journey are plentiful; it's up to you to choose your path.  From quiet, still moments, to community art, to Reading Retreats, to numerous worship moments, to devotions to connect you with the world's need, the choice is yours.  See attached flyer 

for some suggestions.

 

Blessings to all as we begin this journey.

 

Come to celebrate holy gifts of bread, wine, and community

Art and Soul: NEW!

Thursday, February 28

5:00-7:00pm

Oxnam Room B-24  

Join us for pizza and creativity! We will create art based on the lectionary gospel for the following Sunday, Lent 3.  

This story from Luke happens to connect beautifully with our recent "Tree of Life" retreat. Come to choose your art medium, be guided in possibilities, and visually proclaim Luke 13:1-9 (repentance and response:  

the fig tree and the gardener ).  

Lisa Bezner.

Questions? Rev. Dr. Robin Olson, rolson@bu.edu

Committee is in the process of reviewing the present MDiv and MTS curriculum, and
we need your input! We are asking you to set aside some time to reflect on your experiences at BUSTH, and to think about multiple dimensions of your education: courses, faculty advising, vocational preparation, and formation. Your feedback is extremely important to our review process. While many of you informally share your experiences with each other and with faculty, this formal feedback will directly contribute to shaping the future of the curriculum.  You have been sent a link to the survey via your BU email.  It will take you approximately 20 minutes to complete.

We also invite you to seek out your student representatives on the review committee, Samantha Lyon (MDiv rep) and Jason Blakeburn (MTS rep), should you have any other thoughts you would like to share.    

Thank you in advance for your time and feedback!   

Sincerely,
Shelly Rambo

This Group, in its desire to further develop the intellectual traditions of the discipline, welcomes individual paper, papers session, and roundtable proposals that seek to address the following:

• Black theology and its relationship to social issues (e.g., poverty, healthcare, sexuality, racism, etc.), particularly papers that have particular resonance with, but are not limited to, the concerns addressed by the Baltimore-located HBO TV program The Wire
• Black theology in dialogue with world religions
• Black theology as an act of biography/autobiography - in what ways does the discipline affirm the importance of experience or how does it emphasize the relationship between theology and the theologian?
• Contouring the landscape of Black theology - reflecting the state of the discipline in the twenty-first century, either in terms of what has gone before or what are the future challenges or methodological approaches
• For a cosponsored session with the Afro-American Religious History Group, Baltimore's historic role in the slave trade, anti-slavery, and more broadly antihegemonic religious rhetoric

We are especially keen to receive proposals from Afro-Latino/Latina scholars in the United States and Black theologians and religious scholars in Latin America, the Caribbean, and continental Africa. Consideration will be given to paper, papers session, and roundtable proposals that address the 2013 Annual Meeting theme of public understanding of religion and issues of religious pluralism.

Proposer names are visible to Chairs but anonymous to Steering Committee members.  Submit Proposals at the following link: http://papers.aarweb.org/my_proposals
