Join Iona College Professor Dr. Rachana Umashankar and the students of her course "sacred music and poetry" for an interview with psalmist and liturgical musician Sister Kathleen Deignan, composer in residence with Schola Ministries and the Benedictine Grange for over 50 years.
Sharing the story that nurtured the legacy of her corpus of 200 + songs and dozen recordings for prayer and praise, Sister Kathleen will reflect on
- The vocation of the psalmist,
- The poetic craft of the composer,
- The theologian as hymnist,
- Art of contemplative listening and mediating that is the work of the psalmist.
A rare conversation about a rare ministry whose subtlety serves the awakening of inspiration, intimacy, and insight for living faith in the presence of mystery.
