Interests:
Anne specializes in the Gospels. Her research interests include exploring the NT use of the OT, and the ways in which contextual biblical hermeneutics and biblical spiritualities can create “bridges” that connect biblical exegesis with Christian praxis today.
As a Presentation Sister, Anne’s research interests include the area of Presentation spirituality that arises from the study of the Protogospel of James and its impact through the ages; and the role of Mary/Miriam in the Roman Catholic tradition, the Eastern Orthodox tradition and in Islam.
As part of her Graduate studies, Anne trained as a Spiritual Director and a facilitator of Ignatian communal discernment with Fr Thomas H. Green, SJ. Anne has presented papers and/or facilitated workshops, Chapters/assemblies and retreats in over twenty countries.
