Preach It!

Theories abound about how to construct authentic sermons. In the non-exegetical homiletic path of UUism/Liberal religion, there is another possibility. This experiential preaching course will focus on finding your authentic style and voice. In constructing sermons, we will encounter: Presence. Power. Passion. Humility. Humor. The truth in one’s chest and gut—the body somehow singing through thought. Further, we will explore tapping the neural ground of connection between speaker and listener and seek sources of relevance for words that speak truth, lift hope, inspire action and offer blessing. A preacher for 17 years, a public speaker for over 30, the instructor loves the pulpit whether in a house of worship, on the street, or in the halls of government.
