The Karl Rahner Society meets during the annual convention of the Catholic Theological Society of America.  The Society organizes academic papers about Rahner and hosts a breakfast meeting to transact Society business.

Membership is open to scholars upon application.  There are three levels of membership:

• Active membership is open to all those who possess the doctoral degree in theological or related studies, and have been actively engaged in at least one of the Society’s purposes. In exceptional cases, active membership can be given to those whose scholarly achievements meet the standards customarily demanded for the doctorate.
• Associate membership is open to those pursuing doctoral studies in theology or related fields, and who manifest an interest in at least one of the purposes of the Society.
• Friends of the Society of Karl Rahner are those interested parties who do not belong to either of the above categories but have a vested interest in the scholarship of Rahner. Friends are non-voting members in the Society.

Dr. Michael Canaris accepts applications for KRS membership.

To apply for membership, please consult the Society’s Constitution and Rules for Membership and contact Dr. Michael M. Canaris (Loyola University).

To renew your membership in the society, you simply have to re-subscribe to “Philosophy and Theology,” the Marquette University Journal that publishes the Rahner Papers.  Renewal can cost as little as $25 for an online subscription.  For new memberships and renewals, click on the publisher’s Karl Rahner Society page.  New members can sign up near the bottom of the page with the “View Your Options” buttons next to the three membership levels (Active, Associate, and Friend).  Renewals can be completed with the “Click Here” button under “Current Members.”
