HILDEGARD OF BINGEN


Canonized by the Roman Catholic Church in May 2012, declared the “first Protestant” by a follower of Martin Luther, and ignored for centuries after her death in 1178.  Who is this woman?  Hildegard of Bingen, a herald of the divine feminine, church reformer, green prophet, and critic of patriarchy everywhere.  The November selection for the Wednesday Noon Book Group is Hildegard of Bingen:  A Saint for Our Times:  Unleashing Her Power in the 21stCentury by Matthew Fox.  Pick up your copy in the Parish Book Store and learn what this remarkable woman has to say to us today.
