Clarkesville minister, professor on Time's list of world's 100 most influential people

From Georgia-

As if being featured on the cover of Time magazine was not enough, the Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor of Clarkesville has also been named to Time’s annual list of “The 100 Most Influential People in the World.”

The current issue of Time features Taylor’s newest book, "Learning to Walk in the Dark," which is already on its way to becoming a runaway best seller. (See earlier story. First link below.) Then Time announced that the May 5 issue (which goes on sale April 25) will include Taylor in its list of the world’s 100 most influential people. (Second link.)

For the Time 100 List, correspondent Elizabeth Dias writes that “Few souls are as synched to the world’s mysteries as Barbara Brown Taylor’s. An acclaimed Episcopal preacher and best-selling author, Taylor lives quietly on her farm in northern Georgia, writing spiritual nonfiction that rivals the poetic power of C.S. Lewis and Frederick Buechner.”
