It was a joy to co-keep with Dr. Annabelle Estera from two separate 4-day peacemaking circle trainings this summer. We had 35 people complete the trainings including BU students, staff, faculty, and representatives from greater Boston peace and justice organizations.

Are you a student who’d like to join the next training? Are you considering applying to BU School of Theology and have a desire to learn practical peacemaking skills that will inform your theological reflection? If so, sign up for the RCT newsletter and keep your eyes posted for future offerings!

Boston University School of Theology was well-represented at the inaugural Shared Values lecture. Dr. townes spoke about the moral legacy of BU theology alumnus Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. Smith spoke about the moral legacy of former BU Dean Howard Thurman. And Dr. McCarty moderated the conversation. They were joined by Elie Wiesel Center director Dr. Nancy Harrowitz for a lively conversation about these BU-affiliated moral exemplars and the work of living the university’s values.
