First award of the Paul and Auburn Carr Scholarship Fund in Science and Religion

Boston University School of Theology was pleased to recognize the presence of Dr. Paul H. Carr at our 2005 Annual Commencement. Dr. Carr attended the ceremony to witness the first award of the Paul and Auburn Carr Scholarship Fund in Science and Religion. Dr. Carr established the scholarship in memory of his father, the Rev. Auburn J. Carr, who was a 1932 graduate of the School of Theology and a Methodist minister of several New England churches.

The first recipient of the Carr Scholarship is Gregory A. Maslowe. Greg holds a bachelor’s degree from Boston University and a master’s degree in philosophical theology from Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary. Currently he is writing a dissertation in ecological ethics within Boston University’s Science, Philosophy, and Religion PhD program. His research focus is on the ecological, ethical, and economic challenges associated with the extremely controversial agricultural use of genetically modified organisms.

Boston University School of Theology extends its gratitude to Dr. Carr for his generous donation, and for his presence at this year’s graduation ceremony.
