Practical Preaching in the Digital Age

This is a hands-on preaching and digital ministry course intended to introduce students to a practical method for delivering Good News in person, online, and both at the same time. This will NOT be manuscript preaching! We will practice a conversational, video-friendly, note-free sharing of Good News. Course activities will include learning the ‘Triangle’ preaching method, creating and uploading video sermons, giving feedback to others, and participating in forums. The goal will be growing in comfort and skill as practical preachers in the digital age.

Instructor: The Rev. Catherine Caimano (‘Fr. Cathie’) is an Episcopal priest in the Diocese of North Carolina, ordained for over 20 years. In 2016, she started Free Range Priest, helping clergy and congregations reimagine ministry by bringing church to people in creative, sustainable and digital ways. Teaching Practical Preaching is very much part of the Free Range Priest mindset. Fr. Cathie has taught in the CALL program for over 4 years, and been a preaching mentor, coach and teacher for over 5 years.
