Barbara Brown Taylor Episcopal Priest, Academic and Author

In 1992, she was appointed rector of Grace-Calvary Episcopal Church (Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta) in Clarkesville, Georgia. She later retired from parish ministry to become a full-time professor at Piedmont College in Demorest, Georgia, and an adjunct professor of Christian spirituality at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia.

She taught world religions and exposed her primarily Christian students to other faiths in order for them to better understand how different groups worship.

Baylor University named her one of the twelve “most effective” preachers in the English-speaking world in 1996. The Emory Alumni Association of Emory University presented her with the Emory Medal in 1998 for her distinguished achievement in education.

Barbara Brown Taylor led the second annual Piedmont College religion conference in Athens, Georgia, in February 2009. Taylor has previously served as the conference’s keynote speaker. Taylor also delivered the 2009 Annual Buechner Lecture at King University’s Buechner Institute. She is the author of twelve books on faith and spirituality.

Taylor was named one of the top ten most influential living preachers in a poll conducted by the Southern Baptist Convention in February 2010, just days before Piedmont College’s religion conference. She chose to leave the active ministry in the early 2000s while keeping her ordination.

Leaving Church: A Memoir of Faith was the first book in a trilogy about redefining her faith, followed by An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith and Learning to Walk in the Dark.
