Preaching in an Election Year:
What the Bible Can Teach Us about Dialogue in a Divisive Time
An online workshop for preachers led by the Rev. Dr. Leah Schade, Associate Professor of Preaching and Worship at Lexington Theological Seminary
Tuesday, February 13
12:00-2:00 ET / 9:00-11:00 PT
How can preachers guide their congregations through the polarizing politics of an election year so that they are true to the gospel and attentive to their contexts? Join The Rev. Dr. Leah Schade as she shares her research about ministry, preaching, and social issues and offers a framework for preaching in a politically contentious season. Participants should come with their Bible, awareness of their community context, and willingness to learn a way to engage biblical texts that invites deliberation and conversation. We will have time for participation in small group conversations to discuss texts for preaching Lent, and preachers will come away with tools and ideas for upcoming sermons.
This online workshop is designed to be interactive and participatory, and attendees should be prepared with reliable internet that allows for audio and video participation.
This workshop will be conducted in English with Spanish translation available. Registration will open in early January. Learn more.
