This module is part of the Distance Learning Website of the Carmelite Institute of Britain and Ireland (CIBI)

 

This module provides an overview of the history of Carmelite women, and includes a few thumb-nail sketches. Its purpose is to provide a background for more detailed studies of particular women, in separate modules. In the five units we shall look at:

• The beginnings, and the first  outstanding figure: Bl. Françoise d’Amboise;
• St. Teresa of Avila and her reform;
• St Mary Magdalen of Pazzi OCarm; in Florence; and the spread of the Discalced nuns;
• England, Ireland, and  -  Vatican II;
• Other developments, especially a glimpse at the many Carmelite Sisters in both parts of the Order.

Module Tutor: Mary Pia OCD
