The Annual Meeting of the Society for Buddhist-Christian Studies: Concurrent with American Academy of Religions Annual Meeting Boston, November 2017

Four highlights of this year’s annual SBCS meeting were the Friday evening session “What Buddhists and Christians Can Learn from Muslims,” our visit to Fo Guang Shan’s Cambridge temple that evening, the Saturday morning session “Uses and Misuses of Anger in Buddhism and Christianity,” and, immediately afterward, the election of Leo Lefebure (Georgetown) as our new vice president, and John Makransky’s handing over the presidency to current vice president Kristin Largen. The SBCS vice president is in charge of planning the sessions at our annual meeting and—after two years—takes over as president. Each year the SBCS, a “Related Scholarly Organization” of the American Academy of Religion, holds our annual meeting concurrently with AAR’s annual meeting.
