Mountain Top Lectures

Welcome

Over the last several years a number of independent book clubs in North Georgia have begun to explore various aspects of our religious heritage and spirituality. Many of us have traveled to St. Simons to attend the January Adventure, a lecture series featuring prominent theological scholars. During a recent lecture series sponsored by the Cherry Log Christian Church, we met others who were interested in offering a similar type lecture series in North Georgia to learn more about the origin and evolution of our religious heritage.

To this end, we have created The Mountain Top Lectures to host scholars on a wide range of issues of religion and spirituality in a north Georgia setting. We host two lectures per year, one in the spring and one in the fall at Amicalola Falls Lodge in Dawsonville, Georgia.

Since 2010 we have been very fortunate to host Dr. Amy Jill Levine, Dr. Marcus Borg, Dr. Robin Meyer, and this fall Dr. Bart Ehrman.

In the spring of 2012, we will host the Rev. Dr. Cynthia Bourgeault and next fall Dr. Brian McLaren.

If you have an interest or curiosity about how Christianity developed and the challenges it faces in the 21st century you will want to join us at Mountain Top Lectures.  We limit the number attending to 100 to provide an intimate setting for questions and discussion.
