“I like to say that we use an angle of vision on the weekly themes,” said Joan Brown Campbell, director of Chautauqua Institution’s Department of Religion. “We use them to the extent possible, but they are designed for the morning lectures with a secular point of view.

She will preach at the 10:45 a.m. Sunday morning worship service in the Amphitheater, and she will also share her faith journey at the 5 p.m. Sunday Vespers in the Hall of Philosophy.
