A NOTE FROM JEFFREY TO THE GOOD PEOPLE AT CALVIN COLLEGE:

This year's Festival of Faith and Writing was an inspiring, exciting experience for me.

You assembled a program of lectures and readings that I found powerfully inspiring, and I'm still thinking about them days later, back here in Seattle.

I cannot wait until some of those sessions become available as recordings. Katherine Paterson, Michael Chabon, Kathleen Norris, Scott Cairns, Jann Martel, Luci Shaw, Alan Jacobs, Cathleen Falsani, Barry Moser. . . those were just a few of the folks who contributed meaning and magnificence.

And the attentive helpfulness of the festival staff was also inspiring -- thank Shelly Lemahieu Dunn, Kate Hickey, and the oh-so-rebellious Amy de Jong for me.

I have always wanted to attend this Festival, for all of the good reports I've heard, so it was a very special privilege to be invited to speak to the attendees as well.

Thank you for the warm welcome you gave me, and thanks to the hundreds who came for my two lectures --
"The Eagles are Coming: Faith, Fairy Tales, and Fantasy,"
and "Through a Screen Darkly: A Memoir of Gradual Bedazzlement and Dangerous Moviegoing."

It was an inspiration to meet so many people who are passionate about  looking closer at these art forms that I love so much. I hope to see you all again.

Jeffrey
