This course is self-study and available for enrollment at any time. 
The Rev. Shanon Sterringer, Ph.D.


This course is an engaging introduction to Hildegard’s life, visions, art, music, natural medicine, homilies, letters, and minor works. In addition to an overview of her works and their significance for us today, we will spend some time unpacking the theological concepts of Viriditas (greening power) and the Living Light (primordial energy force), as Hildegard understood them. The contemporary contribution of this medieval woman and Doctor of the Church, St. Hildegard of Bingen, has the potential for inspiring a renewed model of empowered companionship for ministry today through creativity, mysticism, and the greening of the soul. 


This course is based on ten topics drawn from Hildegard’s works. The topics will include recommended readings (summaries will be provided in a PDF format) plus supplementary material (recorded lectures, videos, music, website links).  A weekly in-person session will be available. No textbook required.

What is the AAOCC?

The American Apostolic Old Catholic Church is an Independent Catholic Jurisdiction not bound by the legal and jurisdictional authority of the Roman Pope, possessing valid sacraments, a valid priesthood, and a valid Eucharist. Because we are not bound by the legal pronouncements of Rome, we are free to include a female priesthood, married priesthood, and the full inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community to all seven scriptural sacraments, including marriage and Holy Orders. We are theologically orthodox and liturgically conservative while maintaining an open and inclusive membership. Our website is: www.americanoldcatholic.org.
