The Festival of Faith and Writing is a biennial gathering held by Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan on even-numbered years while in the intervening years, the college hosts a Festival of Faith and Music. The Festival's goal is to provide a vibrant community where readers, editors, publishers, artists, and writers come together to discuss, celebrate, and explore the ways in which faith is represented in literature and how it plays out in the world today. The Festival, started in 1990, last took place April 17-19, 2008. Past speakers have included Joyce Carol Oates, John Updike, Annie Dillard, Elie Wiesel, and Frederick Buechner [Wilson, John [http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2004/aprilweb-only/4-28-11.0.html "Books & Culture Corner: Celebrating Faith in Writing"] "Christianity Today" 2004-04-01]
