Join us for this talk in honour of both the 90th anniversary of Regis College, and the 50th anniversary of the Toronto School of Theology (an ecumenical consortium of theological schools).
Susan K. Wood, SCL, PhD Academic Dean of Regis College and Professor of Systematic Theology, will present “Ecumenism Today: How Far We’ve Travelled and the Road Ahead”
Academic Dean Wood has published and consulted widely in the field of ecumenical relations. From 1994 to 2019, she served on the U.S. Lutheran-Roman Catholic Dialogue (1994-2019). She currently serves on the North American Roman Catholic-Orthodox Theological Consultation (2005-present), the International Lutheran-Catholic Dialogue (2008-present), and the conversation between the Baptist World Alliance and the Roman Catholic Church (2006-2010, 2017-2021). She has also participated in consultations on baptism, theological anthropology, and the nature and purpose of ecumenical dialogue sponsored by Faith and Order of the World Council of Churches and the Joint Working Group.
Dean Wood’s most recent publication on ecumenism is “Pope Francis and Ecumenism” in the scholarly journal One in Christ (vol. 52, no.1, 2018, pp. 3-16). A presentation she made on the same topic as her paper at St. Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana, may be viewed online by clicking here.
