The Episcopal Preaching Foundation invites interested diocesan leaders to learn about this new grant-funded program to support preachers in their home parishes. The webinar will be delivered on two dates: January 31st and February 7th at 2:00pm Eastern. Interested staff and lay leaders are encouraged to register by January 25th.
The Episcopal Preaching Foundation has received a five-year grant of $829,000 from Lilly Endowment Inc. to develop and pilot test a new collaborative feedback model for preachers and congregants working together to support excellent preaching. The purpose of The Preaching Congregation program is to bring together the clergy and congregation of any parish in a structured process of mutual exchange that brings the congregation into a deeper appreciation of sermon preparation and development and provides the preacher with informed feedback during sermon creation as well as after its delivery. The process within participating parishes will create a rotating 16-week program that brings together preachers and a handpicked group of lay members to create a generative feedback loop around the creation of each Sunday sermon. Not only will parish members feed back their reactions after the sermon; they also will join in exegetical exercises on the lectionary texts for future Sundays, giving the preacher additional insight into the community in advance of crafting the sermon. The sermon then becomes the work of the whole congregation, meaning there is never just a preacher but always the preaching congregation. Registration for the webinars is open at: https://www.preachingfoundation.org/news/youre-invited-learn-more-about-the-preaching-congregation/ At this webinar the Preaching Foundation leadership will explain:
