April 13, 20, 27 and May 4- We are excited to have with us throughout the Easter season The Rt. Rev Frank K Allan, Eighth Bishop of Atlanta, retired. After completing his episcopacy Bishop Allan has taught Emory seminarians Anglican history and theology as well as developing an artists’ community, The Work of our Hands.

Come and learn from one of the church’s most gifted teachers.
