In this webinar, Sr. Carla Mae will reflect on the special opportunities for knowing ourselves and growing closer to God that we experience in the second half of life. We've been through a lot, and have gained much wisdom through experience, and yet the call to grow continues to draw us to deepening questionining, encounters and faith.

Carla Mae Streeter, OP, is a Dominican of the Congregation of Catherine of Siena in Racine, Wisconsin. She is presently a professor (emerita) of Systematic theology and Spirituality at Aquinas Institute of Theology, a graduate school of Theology and Ministry sponsored by the Dominicans of the Central Province adjoined to St. Louis University in St. Louis.

Using the resources of the Lonergan Research Institute in Toronto, Canada, she completed doctoral studies with the Canadian Jesuits at Regis College of the Toronto School of Theology in Toronto in 1986. She was co-recipient of the first Jean-Marc Laporte Scholarship Award for academic excellence, and the first woman to complete a theological doctorate at Regis College. Her specialty is the thought of the Canadian Aquinas scholar, Bernard Lonergan, as that thought provides a framework for the dialogue of theology with other disciplines, and with other religious traditions.

Her experience includes eleven years of lay leadership training on the parish level, spiritual direction, and social advocacy. Carla Mae has been active as a facilitator for several religious congregations, and has served her own community in the renewal of its own constitution and in its theological renewal. She lives in St. Louis where she is active in Interfaith Partnership of Metropolitan St. Louis and other ecumenical and interfaith efforts. Carla Mae serves on the boards of ITEST, the Institute for the Theological Encounter with Science and Technology, and the Workers Right Board of Jobs with Justice. She is active with the Living Insights Center, a gathering place for the religions of the world, and the Peace Economy Project, an advocacy group that urges the economic shift from excessive military spending to human and social needs.
