Featuring three plenary sessions with William H. Willimon, Professor of the Practice of Christian Ministry at Duke Divinity School:
  • Preaching Cross: Preaching the scandal of a crucified God in a culture that thinks it already knows God.
  • Preaching Resurrection: Preaching the victory of God in a culture of therapeutic Deism.
  • The Joy of talking about Jesus crucified and resurrected rather than talking about ourselves or even our congregations.

Rev. Dr. Annette Brownlee

Rev. Dr. Peter Holmes

Rev. Dr. Catherine Sider-Hamilton
