Barbara Brown Taylor, best-selling author, preacher, teacher and Episcopal priest, will speak with us about teaching and learning about world religions at a rural Southern college and how it has deepened her faith, the focus of her fourteenth and latest book, Holy Envy (2019). Time magazine included Barbara on their 2014 list of the most influential people the year. Named Georgia’s Woman of the Year in 2015, she has served on the facul-ties of Columbia Theological Seminary, the Candler School of Re-ligion at Emory University, and Piedmont College, among others. She is a frequent preacher and lecturer at the Chautauqua Institu-tion.
The afternoon panel will be facilitated by the Rev. Dr. Carol Flett, co-chair of the Montgomery County’s Faith Community Working Group.
