For the past year, I have had the privilege of serving on the editorial board for Lumen et Vita, a student-initiated and facilitated academic journal at the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry. This often requires a lot of so-called 'grunt work'; this includes planning events, drafting flyers, the long process of selecting and editing submitted articles and finally producing a finished product which appears online. What motivates me and the others on the editorial board is the purpose of our efforts: to provide a space for students at our school to share their ideas about theology and ministry within the community of the school itself, but also with the larger community of those interested in these topics.

Besides the online journal we produce, we also have an annual colloquium in the Fall and an annual symposium in the Spring. Included here is a link to our website, where you can find the first issue of Lumen et Vita as well as other information on our organization.
