HOLY ENVY: Finding God in the Faith of Others
Featuring the Rev. Dr. Barbara Brown Taylor
The Office of Church Relations is very pleased to bring the Rev. Dr. Barbara Brown Taylor to teach and preach on Saturday, March 11, 2023 on Chapman University's campus in Orange, CA.
Barbara Brown Taylor is the New York Times bestselling author of An Altar in the World, Learning to Walk in the Dark, and Holy Envy: Finding God in the Faith of Others. She has been an Avon lady, a cocktail waitress, a horseback riding instructor, and a hospital chaplain, but her favorite job was teaching world religions at Piedmont College for twenty years before putting the chalk down in 2017. She now divides her time between writing, speaking, and caring for the land on which she lives. Barbara and her husband Ed tend a small farm in the foothills of the Appalachians.
