Today is the wake of Sister Anne E. Carr, a Sister of the Blessed Virgin Mary and well-known theologian who died a few days ago.

My prayers and sympathy go out to the BVM Sisters, one of whom is a colleague of mine at Loyola Press.

I only knew Anne through her writings — she was a wonderful theologian and wrote on my favorite theologian Karl Rahner and on Thomas Merton. She was Professor Emerita of Theology at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. Here’s her bio:

Anne Carr works in contemporary theology, both Protestant and Roman Catholic, liberation theologies, and feminist thought and theology. She teaches courses on the mystery of evil and theological anthropology, and her current research centers on the doctrine of providence. Her publications include The Theological Method of Karl Rahner; Transforming Grace; and Thomas Merton’s Theology of the Self. She is co-editor of several numbers of Concilium centered on women’s issues, is an associate editor of Horizons, and a consulting editor for Theology and Philosophy and Listening. (source)
