Profil
Sarah Kathleen Johnson est professeure adjointe de liturgie et de théologie pastorale, directrice des études de premier cycle (BA, MTS, MDiv) et directrice des études anglicanes.
Théologienne pratique, elle étudie le culte chrétien dans le contexte d’un paysage religieux nord-américain en pleine mutation. Ses recherches, à l’intersection des études liturgiques et de la sociologie de la religion, utilisent des méthodes qualitatives qui valorisent l’expérience religieuse quotidienne. Son engagement à interroger la relation entre la liturgie et l’éthique et à s’engager de manière œcuménique à travers les traditions chrétiennes est à la base de ses recherches, de son enseignement et de son leadership au sein de l’Église. Dr. Johnson est ordonnée au ministère de l’Église mennonite du Canada.
Elle a été actuellement présidente de la société Canadian Theological Society (2023-2024).
