Exploring the intersection of art, science, and faith at Montreat

Gather with us this summer and be inspired! - Our Arts, Music, and Theology lecture series celebrates the inter-connectivity of art and theology through weekly presentations each summer. This year’s lecturers speak on a variety of topics ranging from Tolkien to humanitarian law to the agro-food movement to birdwatching. Our hope is that summer visitors may gain deeper understanding of our world as they share in each lecturer’s story. All programs are free and open to the public, and everyone is welcome! Check out the schedule below, and start making your plans to attend.
