Historic Gardens and Sacred Spaces ~ A Theological Interpretation of Ponce Hall with Dr. Timothy Johnson
Experience a fascinating exploration into art, architecture, and their spiritual aspects. Dr. Timothy J. Johnson is the Craig and Audrey Thorn Distinguished Professor of Religion at Flagler College. He received his Doctorate in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University (Italy) and has been at Flagler College in 1998. A Senior Fulbright Scholar and Chair of the Research Advisory Board of the Franciscan Institute, he has held visiting fellowships at Cambridge University (England), Dresden University (Germany), and Eichstätt-Inglostadt University (Germany). Flagler College nominated Dr. Johnson twice for the Carnegie Professor of the Year award.
Note: This will be the only opportunity to tour the Rotunda and the Gardens this summer, as the college is opening these areas only for this tour due to the largest renovation since the Ponce de Leon Hotel opened in 1888.
