    Barbara Brown Taylor will be one of four keynote speakers at the Christian Scholars' Conference held on the Lipscomb University campus, June 25. Taylor, an acclaimed memoirist, teaches religion at Piedmont College in northeast Georgia. In recent years, she has lectured on preaching at Yale, Princeton and Duke Universities. A columnist for The Christian Century and commentator on Georgia Public Broadcasting, she is the author of eleven books, including When God is Silent and Home By Another Way.

    Lipscomb University is pleased to host the 29th annual Christian Scholars’ Conference, June 25-27, 2009, under the theme, “The Power of Narrative.” Plenary speakers Billy Collins (US Poet Laureate, 2001-2003), Marilynne Robinson (Pulitzer Prize Winner, 2005), Hubert G. Locke and Barbara Brown Taylor will stimulate dialogue on the intersection of faith, academics, and narrative's captivating quality.
