Samuel F. Weber, a Roman Catholic priest and Benedictine monk, is associate professor of early Christianity and spiritual formation and the first Roman Catholic priest on the full-time faculty in the University's history.
Before starting at Wake Forest in 1999, Weber taught early and medieval church history, liturgy, and spirituality at the St. Meinrad School of Theology in St. Meinrad, Indiana, since 1976. He also has been on the faculty of St. Meinrad College. In addition, Weber studied at the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago from 1964 to 1966 and has served as an organist at St. Meinrad Archabbey from 1963-1996. He has been an associate editor of the American Benedictine Review, as well as a frequent guest lecturer at several Protestant theological schools, and has contributed to several books, including The Upper Room Worship Book.
Weber has worked extensively with both Catholics and Protestants in spiritual formation and development, and his appointment to Wake Forest Divinity School is a continuation of the Benedictine Order's longstanding involvement in the ecumenical movement. He also ministers to the Roman Catholic students on campus and assists in the pastoral care of Catholics in North and South Carolina.
