Grace Speaks

About Grace Speaks

Faith and Spirituality in the 21st Century

​
​Grace Speaks has been an ongoing lecture series offered by Grace Church since 2007.

Every year, Grace invites scholars to speak on topics relevant to contemporary religion and society. Past speakers represent of broad spectrum of interests and perspectives, and our lectures have been well attended by parishioners and members of the community at large. The free lectures have become part of Grace’s outreach into the community and are an important component of our program year.
