Walker Percy Centennial: Pilgrimage in Literature

2016 SOUTHEAST CONFERENCE ON CHRISTIANITY AND LITERATURE

April 7-9, 2016
Montreat College, Montreat, NC 28757

Keynoters: Farrell O’Gorman, Belmont Abbey College

Jim Wildeman, Covenant College, emeritus

Like Binx Bolling in Walker Percy’s first novel The Moviegoer, literary characters often seek relationship with the God of the Bible. They feel detached from affairs in the material world. Pilgrims sense a call from God to pursue him in spite of the unbelief surrounding them.
Essays will be considered from a variety of authors. Topics should pursue the intersection of faith and literature. Creative writing presentations are welcome.

Undergraduate Research essays are invited; the Thursday evening session is devoted to them.

Please submit completed essays to Rich Gray (rgray AT montreat.edu)
