Lode Wostyn, CICM is a Catholic missionary priest who entered as a professor in Systematic Theology at the San Carlos Seminary in Manila from 1970-1972 and at Maryhill School of Theology from 1972-1995. He also served as Dean of the school from 1989-1993. He has published a considerable amount of theological studies of which some of his books were used as textbooks in MA courses of Theology in the Philippines. He took a sabbatical year at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley in 1993-1994. The following year, he was assigned at St. Louis University (SLU) where he served as the director of the Institute of Philosophy and Religion from 1995-2001 and Acting Dean of the College of Human Sciences from 2001-2002. He continued teaching some graduate courses, among them a course on Bio-ethics at SLU College of Medicine. Aside from teaching, he has also been active in weekend pastoral work in some parishes of the Archdiocese of Manila. As a graduate of the “Care Through Touch Institute” in Berkeley (1993), he also teaches massage to groups of blind people in the Philippines. In 2003, he took one-semester sabbatical at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago and returned there a year after to teach two courses of theology. In 2003, he has started teaching theology in several theological schools in Manila namely, Institute of Consecrated Life in Asia, St. Vincent School of Theology, St. Andrew’s School of Theology and the Institute of Formation and Religious Studies. In 2007, he returned to Maryhill School of Theology as a regular lecturer and also became a resident professor at the Institute for Consecrated Life in Asia.
