Does the Boniuk Center prefer speakers who represent the Center’s political or religious positions?
No. The Boniuk Center is housed at a secular research university and does not advocate specific political or religious positions. For example, the Center does not advocate a specific political position on conflicts in the Middle East, Kashmir, Sri Lanka or other places. Nor does the Center have a position on, for example, what or who defines “true” Christianity, “true” Islam, or other such questions of a religious or theological nature. The views expressed by speakers we sponsor or co-sponsor are not necessarily those of any of the Boniuk Center staff, anyone at Rice, or any of our affiliates. The simple fact of our sponsorship or co-sponsorship does not indicate our agreement with a stated perspective.
