Preach the Word, Reach the World
January 30-February 1, 2012

More and more, preachers are required to be creative in communicating the Word of God in a way that engages an ever-changing listening world. What does not change is that we are called to preach the Word!
Our keynote speaker, Dr. Teresa Fry Brown will share with us in four teaching sessions:
To Serve the Present Age
The Changing Face of Preaching
Our Calling to Fulfill
Challenges to Preachers, Young and Old
O May it All My Powers Engage
Performative Aspects of Preaching
To Do My Master’s Will
Authority in Preaching
In addition, break-out sessions taught by Asbury Seminary faculty members will cover expanded areas of the art of Preaching the Word and Reaching the World.
More detailed information on break-out sessions will be posted soon!
