Glenn-Emory Connection
We are building a stronger community between Glenn & Emory!
Glenn is located on the campus of Emory University! Our congregation first began in the Chapel at Candler School of Theology. Our connection with Emory goes back to 1920.
Glenn’s current outreach includes supporting a re-launch of Wesley Fellowship at Emory, participating in a program called The Vinery (funded through the Lilly Foundation) which focuses on churches near college campuses, and partnering with Emory’s OSRL (Office of Spiritual and Religious Life) on shared initiatives such as WISE and Emory-Glenn Sunday.
Scroll through our upcoming events below for ways you can help build a more connected community:

Glenn is Hosting Emory’s WISE Pre-orientation Dinner
Tuesday, August 15, 5pm | Sign up here to help!
Glenn is hosting the Emory WISE Annual Pre-Orientation Dinner again this year, and we need your help. On Tuesday, August 15, we will host a catered dinner for about fifty Emory freshmen and staff who are part of a pre-orientation program called WISE (Welcoming Interfaith and Spiritual Exploration), sponsored by Emory’s Office of Spiritual and Religious Life. During our time together, we will share a meal and provide information about the Sanctuary, the church’s history, and our current worship, programs, and initiatives.
Glenn members are needed to assist in setting up the Fellowship Hall, serving food, supplying tea and lemonade, engaging students at tables during dinner, and cleaning up. Sign up here to help! For additional information, contact Deborah Marlowe.

To celebrate the new J. Michael Morgan English Bible & Psalmody Collection at Candler School of Theology, Pitts Theology Library is hosting their inaugural Morgan Forum, entitled “re:Wording: A Forum on the Past, Present, and Future of the Bible in Translation.” All are invited to learn from scholars about where the English Bible came from and where it is headed in the digital age. The two major portions of the day will include a panel discussion of the NRSVue and the Manfred Hoffmann lecture from Dr. Timothy Beal, entitled “The End of the Word as We Know It: The Story of the Bible, from the Print Revolution to the Digital Revolution and Beyond.” The event will be a great opportunity to see new library collections and to think alongside others about what it means to read the Bible in the digital age.
