Sacred Places: When Does Geography Become Sacred?

Join us for “Sacred Places: When Does Geography Become Sacred?” with Dr. Rosalie Beck, an expert in religious studies at Baylor University. Dr. Beck will explore the profound significance of the physical locations that hold sacred value for people around the world. We will delve into the cultural, historical, and spiritual aspects that elevate certain geographical sites to sacred status. Following the lecture, there will be a Q&A session where you can ask Dr. Beck your questions and gain deeper insights. This program is designed to complement our Sacred Places exhibit, offering a broader understanding of the diverse and meaningful religious locations featured. July 18, 2024, from 3:00pm- 4:00pm at the Mayborn Museum.
