Practical Theology Students to Participate in This Year’s AAR-SBL Annual Meeting
Due to the ongoing serious threat of Covid-19, this year’s annual joint meeting for the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature will be taking place entirely online. And although the meeting was initially set to take place here in Boston, the virtual nature of this year’s conference will allow what is one of the world’s largest gatherings of theologians and scholars of religion to take place without posing a health risk. The Center for Practical Theology will be well represented this year by a few of our own students, whose paper and session titles are listed below. Please join us in congratulating Dan Hauge, Britta Carlson, and Kate Common!
