Join us for an evening with Barbara Brown Taylor, author of An Altar in the World, Learning to Walk in the Dark, and the forthcoming Coming Down to Earth, with a book signing to follow.
Has the language of faith ever been so stressed? Words that once carried weight have been underfed, sidelined, and meanly used amid an overload of competing voices. No wonder it’s hard to win a hearing from people who are careful of their own hearts. In this closing plenary talk, Barbara Brown Taylor considers how to bring the words that matter down to earth.
When you arrive on Calvin University's campus, please plan to park in lots 1-6 and then proceed to the Van Noord Arena. A map showing the parking lot and arena locations can be found here.
Please Note: This event is the evening plenary session for the 2026 Festival of Faith & Writing. If you have registered for the Festival, you do not need to buy a ticket for this session.
