Burunat Memorial Lecture— “Rest and Restfulness: Recovering an Essential Power for Navigating Our Wind-Tossed Times

The Theology Department’s upcoming 16th Annual Burunat Memorial Lecture will take place on Sunday, October 19th, beginning with a reception at 4 p.m., the lecture at 4:45 pm, followed by a buffet dinner at 6 p.m.

This year’s lecture, entitled “Rest and Restfulness: Recovering an Essential Power for Navigating Our Wind-Tossed Times,” and delivered by our esteemed colleague and former department chair Christine Firer Hinze, Ph.D., will take place in the Corrigan Family Conference Center, 12th Floor, Lowenstein at our Lincoln Center campus.

Background: The Burunat Memorial Fund generously supports the work of Fordham Theology. Over the course of the past decade and a half, the Burunat Lecture has become a mainstay of our department’s calendar, with presentations engaging such timely and compelling topics as ecology, faith and politics, aesthetics and justice, and Christian spirituality in contemporary living. It provides an opportunity for us to share the fruits of our department’s theological reflection with friends and colleagues both at Fordham, and throughout the region.

Please RSVP by October 2 by emailing us at [email protected], indicating whether you will attend the lecture only, or lecture and dinner, so that we can plan for the festivities.
