Professor, Department Chair
Susan K. Wood, SCL (Ph. D. Marquette University, 1986) specializes in ecclesiology. Most of her writing explores the connections between ecclesiology and sacramental theology.
In addition to numerous articles she has published Spiritual Exegesis and the Church in the Theology of Henri de Lubac (Eerdmans, 1998), Sacramental Orders (The Liturgical Press, 2000), One Baptism (The Liturgical Press, forthcoming Fall 2009), and is the editor of Ordering the Baptismal Priesthood (The Liturgical Press, 2003).
Very active in ecumenical work, she serves on the U.S. Lutheran-Roman Catholic Dialogue, the North American Orthodox-Roman Catholic Theological Conversation, the international conversation between the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and the Baptist World Alliance, and has 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.
She is an associate editor of Pro Ecclesia and serves on the editorial advisory board of Ecclesiology. Her present major research project is a study of the relationship between the permanent diaconate and lay ecclesial ministry.
