Joan Chittister, 'Heart of Flesh - Like Water on Rock'

Joan Chittister

Heart of Flesh - Like Water on Rock

With her unerring sense of humor, wise grasp of contemporary Christianity and unflinching conversation - Sr. Joan begins her talks at the 2004 John Main Seminar with the larger questions: Who is God? Who are we? What do those things have to do with the way we see the world? As we listen to her words, we are brought into a greater awareness of our place and our influence in this most trouble and wonderful world.

Benedictine Sister Joan Chittister, noted national and international lecturer, columnist and widely published author of over 30 book, serves as co-chair of the Global Peace Initiative of Women, a partner organization of the UN which facilitates a worldwide network of women peace builders.

An elected fellow of Cambridge University, Sister Joan is a social psychologist and communications theorist with a doctorate from Penn State University.
