Do you want to enrich your knowledge of the Franciscan Tradition and find inspiration for living the gospel in the footsteps of Saint Francis of Assisi and his many followers?
Then view the 2022 Franciscan Zoom Lecture Series hosted by the Franciscan School of Theology.
The first two installments of the Franciscan Zoom Lecture Series for the 2022-2023 school year are posted on YouTube:
“Genesis and the Franciscan Tradition”
“St. Francis and Clare of Assisi and the Cross with Open Eyes”
“Lay Franciscans and Their Tradition of Caregiving”
The next Franciscan School of Theology Zoom Lecture will be held on Thursday, November 3, at 7:00 PM (PT), when Dr. Darleen Pryds, one of the core faculty members at Franciscan School of Theology, will explore “A Spirituality of Interdependence: Lay Franciscans and their Tradition of Caregiving.”
Dr. Pryds will unpackage how, in the process of caregiving for others who are ill and/or dying, many lay Franciscans have discovered that the very people they are ministering to have revealed back to them the very love of Christ. Register now.
Dr. Darleen Pryds is a laywoman who has been exploring the Franciscan spiritual tradition since she was 18 as a freshman in college. Since then, she has found her academic research on the lay Franciscan tradition buoys her faith. Her focus on lay Franciscans has analyzed the tradition of lay preaching as a form of “Somatic Theology” or theology expressed through lived experience. You can find her research in her many books and articles. Currently, her work explores Franciscan Laity as Co-Creators of the Franciscan Tradition and Emotional Range in the Franciscan tradition.
