Among Women Podcast #101: Mystics

Among Women 101 continues the discussion from last week with Dr. Virginia Kimball on Christian mysticism. Join us for profiles of Caryl Houselander and the Virgin Mary, plus a discussion of the mysticism of motherhood. We also review Mary: For the Love and Glory of God, a new scholarly work co-edited with Dr. Kimball and Dr. Maura Hearden.

I also spend some time reading excerpts from the work of St. Teresa of Avila.

News of Note:  This podcast also gives upcoming details regarding the Catholic New Media Celebration and the National Catholic Bible Conference. Finally, I was a recent guest on SQPN's Catholic Weekend, listen here.

Among Women Podcast reaches 100 episodes! A Special Edition!

The Among Women podcast turns 100 today -- 100 episodes that is! We've packed the show with listener feedback and begin part one of a two-part discussion on women mystics with special guest, Mariologist and theologian, Dr. Virginia Kimball, who first helped launch AW's debut episodes way back in the spring of 2009.

Join me and my listeners for a little retrospective as well as some perspective on the two year history of this podcast and the community that has taken shape among these women.

Then join us as we dive into learning about the desert mothers, represented by Amma Syncletica, plus we'll discuss Hildegard and Catherine of Siena.

It's an extended-length podcast, in gratitude for all the blessings of the first 100 episodes. Listen in!
