A Conversation with Barbara Brown Taylor
A fundraiser for the Centers for Christian Studies with Barbara Brown Taylor and +Porter Taylor.
Barbara Brown Taylor's new book, Leaving Church: A Memoir of Faith, tells the story of her decision to leave full time parish ministry after fifteen years, trading her church for a college classroom and her Sunday vestments for plain clothes covered in chalk dust. In the months following her resignation, she discovered that she had "left church" in more ways than one. An Episcopal priest since 1984, Taylor now teaches religion at Piedmont College in rural northeast Georgia. As the Sewanee Theological Review has noted, Taylor “possesses a gift that is in short supply these days: the gift of conveying a living sense of the transcendent, the holy, and the grace-full in and through the stuff of our lives.”
The evening begins at 6 PM at Trinity Episcopal Church, 30 Church St., Asheville. There will be a reception and book signing in Tuton Hall afterwards.
The cost is $30.00 a ticket. All proceeds go to the work of the Centers for Christian Studies and are tax deductable. To order tickets, please call the Rev. Charlotte Cleghorn at 828-274-2681 or download a registration form here.
