Barbara Brown Taylor: Hope Far From Home

Nov 21, 2021    Barbara Brown Taylor

Barbara Brown Taylor is an Episcopal priest, professor, theologian, New York Times best-selling author, and one of the United States' best known preachers. In 2014, TIME magazine placed her in its annual TIME 100 list of most influential people in the world. 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. Her latest book, Always a Guest: Speaking of Faith Far From Home was released in October 2020. Barbara now divides her time between writing, speaking, and caring for the land on which she lives. Taylor and her husband Ed live on a farm in the foothills of the Appalachians, sharing space with wild turkeys, red foxes, white-tailed deer and far too many chickens.
