If you will be in the Boston area next academic year and are interested in the role of religion in "World Affairs," you should think about applying to be a CURA Fellow (or just participating in the regular Colloquium discussions like I do).

And federal agencies are trying to fill empty staff positions. What a complete waste!
When I see pictures like this I always try to imagine the resident of the White House in a similar place. Have we ever seen him interacting positively with kids??
During BU graduation festivities?? What could possibly go wrong? #MBTA
This is a digitally altered version of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” showing Jesus and the disciples seated at a long table, but with all of their faces blurred or obscured. The central figure in Jesus’s place wears modern clothing, including a red shirt, a blue cloak, and a stethoscope around his neck, visually presenting him as a Dr. Rabinovich from HBO’s hit series The Pitt.
Fans of The Pitt are loving this
💯
Just hilarious that they can’t figure out which button to push to get the phones to work on #Integrity #Artemis
Please God - NO!
Everyone associated with this mission has been wonderfully intentional about their messaging. Unity, joy, the benefits of diversity and wonder and exploration, gratitude, communal commitment. What a refreshing and uplifting bunch of people in these insane days.
For a ceasefire to hold, the US must act to halt war crimes in Lebanon.
The Israeli govt has killed more than 1,500 Lebanese civilians & displaced one-fifth of their population.
This war is impacting the region & the globe, & it'll never end if Trump allows Netanyahu to continue attacking Lebanon.
When all else seems hopeless, take a moment for some 'moon joy!'
This is not lets-propose-this-and-see-what-Congress-says. Their plan is more like USAID: eliminate before Congress can weigh in.
When hard issues hit the news, pastors are sometimes surprised by what their parishioners think -- and what they hope their churches will do. Art Farnsley writes about what he's learned from talking to pastors at studyingcongregations.org/pastors-and-...
happy bday Booker T. Washington, b.1856, Hales Ford, VA.
"If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else".
"Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than to be in bad company".
"I shall never permit myself to stoop so low as to hate any man".
Your regular reminder that dehumanizing the people who are dehumanizing others isn’t how we’re gonna get to liberation.
We have to live into the world we want to create.
In fairness, this is slightly misleading. The email specified that there would be no Catholic Mass, but didn't say Catholics weren't welcome. Still...
And what happens to Jewish settlers who kill Palestinians??
Hey #GBH where’s Dave Epstein?
Could they make their autocratic agenda more clear?
To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️
It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
OPINION: (RNS) — Before the deportation crackdown began, ministers of all faiths had been supporting social justice movements, not leading them. In recent months, they have rediscovered their historic roles.
Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all.
This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.
There is good reason to disagree with the ideas this Rep espouses, but it is important to draw a distinction between “religion and politics” and “church and state.” The former is protected speech. The latter is about official power being misused.
Boston University’s removal of Pride flags and other peaceful displays is not a minor policy issue. It undermines the open exchange of ideas it says it values. This matters beyond BU. Whether you are a BU alum or an ally, please add your name now: alumni.standforcampusfreedom.org/petitions/te...
New @jssreligion.bsky.social issue alert: Articles from multiple disciplines, multiple parts of the world and multiple traditions to put a focus on the role of religion in how we live in our bodies and the role of our bodies in how we practice our religion: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14685906...
Holy crap! @boston.gov What a mess.
Headline could be from almost any day really
That this graphic exists for all of the world to see — but our dear leaders seem not to have seen it before launching this stupid war.
OMG - What complete slop posing as ‘theory’
