Preaching and Christian Formation: A Summer School for clergy and readers – 1-4 July 2013

How can we enrich our preaching to better enable our congregations to grow in Christian faith and life?  How can our preaching be formative and informative – as well as inspirational?  How do we recover the essential role of teaching in our preaching?

Over this four-day course through plenary presentations, preaching practice groups, workshops and discussion we will learn how we can:

  • open up Scripture to connect deeply with people’s Christian lives;
  • choose language for preaching which enables Christian formation;
  • prepare all-age sermons that build up the whole congregation;
  • connect to an audio-visually and digitally informed culture
  • preach for those new to faith and exploring faith
