About the Lecture:
The Catholic Church has been deeply involved in the modern Ecumenical movement since
Vatican II. Dr. Susan K. Wood, SCL has participated significantly in that movement
for many years. She serves on the International Lutheran Catholic Commission on Unity,
the International Baptist – Catholic conversations, and has participated in theological
consultations sponsored by the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of
Churches. She has also taken part in the North American Roman Catholic – Orthodox
theological consultations, and the U.S. Lutheran – Catholic dialogue. She participated
in and helped prepare the historic event in Lund, Sweden in 2017 when Pope Francis
and leaders of the Lutheran World Federation together commemorated the 500th anniversary
of the Reformation.
A former President of the Catholic Theological Society of America, Dr. Wood has published
numerous articles and books, and is an Associate Editor of Pro Ecclesia.
In this lecture, with her extensive experience in ecumenism, Dr. Wood evaluates progress made toward Christian Unity and the journey still to be undertaken.
