The Mission of STHConnect mirrors the\u00a0Mission<\/a>\u00a0of the Boston University School of Theology: “…to pursue knowledge of God, to cultivate leaders for communities of faith, to enrich the academy, and to seek peace with justice in a diverse and interconnected world.”<\/p>\n

These goals define life at the BU STH, but\u00a0also help shape many communities far beyond this institution. Using 21st century social media, STHConnect\u00a0seeks to extend the STH community online, to create a virtual space where members of these diverse communities may not only share their insights and experiences, but learn from one another.<\/p>\n

STHConnect invites you to participate in our community by\u00a0engaging with\u00a0writers, other readers, and contributing articles of your own. Many of our articles come from members of the BU community, but we welcome\u00a0informative, thought provoking, and inspirational articles from all. Start reading here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
