Wow. I want to attend this:
The literature of Flannery O’Connor, especially the theology that informs it, will be examined during a series sponsored by the Religion in the Arts and Contemporary Culture program at Vanderbilt Divinity School.
All the events are open to the public and free, except for a concert Feb. 19 at the Mercy Lounge, which costs $15.
…
A concert featuring Mary Gauthier, Old Black Kettle, Over the Rhine, Minton Sparks and actor Denice Hicks will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 19, at the Mercy Lounge, 1 Cannery Road. The concert, which benefits the Flannery O’Connor-Andalusia Foundation, is titled “The Enduring Chill: Remembering Flannery O’Connor.” Tickets will be available at the door.
The series concludes on Friday, Feb. 20, with a roundtable discussion featuring Gauthier, Sparks, Linford Detweiler and Karin Berquist of Over the Rhine, and Julie Lee. The musicians will discuss “Shadows of the Word: Songwriters and Literary Legacies of Religion and Place.” The 1 p.m. discussion in the Art Room (G-20) of Vanderbilt Divinity School is free and open to the public.
