Festival Offers Ode to Literature

Christian Reformed Church News - March 13, 2024

More than 2,200 people from across North America and beyond came to Calvin University recently to attend the 2024 Festival of Faith and Writing, which, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, had been essentially on hold as an in-person event for six years. (A modified online version of the festival took place in 2022.)

Now able to meet again in person, participants had opportunities to mingle and build relationships as well as share – for three days Apr. 11-13 – in the joy of poetry, the transformative power of fiction, the insights of memoir and autobiography, and the crucial role journalism plays in chronicling the issues and trends of our time.
