Sister Miriam Therese Winter: Singer of Songs and Author
Sister Miriam Therese Winter (or Sister MT as she is known) entered the Medical Mission Sisters, in Philadelphia (USA) in 1955. The Society’s founder, Anna Dengel, was still in residence there and the two established a bond that would deepen through the years.
In the wake of Vatican II, the Spirit-inspired songs of Sister Miriam Therese and the Medical Mission Sisters became a part of many faith traditions and cultures around the world. Anna Dengel, born in an alpine village, loved those songs that embodied the spirit of her Society.
Sister Miriam Therese, with a PhD from Princeton Theological Seminary and four honorary doctorates has been on the faculty of Hartford International University since 1980. Currently Professor Emerita of Transformative Leadership and Spirituality, she is a metaphorical theologian who emphasizes Spirit and the unifying energies of the Sacred in our quantum universe.
