Sorry about the delay folks!  Be on the look out within the next few days for Peggy’s show from the 25th.  But without further ado, here you go.  This weeks guests happen to be  SBM’s Sister Theresa Schumacher, OSB and the SOT’s Kelly Marie Prosen!  The topic of discussion is the Divine Feminine.

Theresa Schumacher OSB, a member of Saint Benedict’s Monastery, St. Joseph, Minnesota, has served as a teacher, campus minister, formation (novice) director and liturgy director for her monastic community. She has worked in college, parish and monastery settings. Her graduate studies are in Music from the University of Minnesota with a minor in Women’s Studies and in Liturgical Theology from the University of Notre Dame.

Currently Sister Theresa is working with various aspects of liturgy and liturgical life at the monastery which includes teaching in the monastery’s initial formation program, being a spiritual director, and presenting in programs through spiritual ministries and vocation ministry. She does consultations for parishes and monasteries and gives retreats and presentations on liturgy and liturgical spirituality at home and abroad.

Kelly Marie Prosen is a M.A. candidate in systematic theology at Saint John’s School of Theology Seminary. Her current academic  research explores the interrelationship among Christology, feminist theology, kenosis, and theological aesthetics, particularly in the work of Hans Urs von Balthasar and Elizabeth Johnson.  Her other academic work investigates the relationship between poetry and theology, reflecting on themes of doubt, God’s gracious relationship to the world, the sanctity of the ordinary, and the under told stories of New Testament women.
