Advanced Thematic Preaching

Catalog description

Taught by SKSM. This is an advanced hybrid course in thematic preaching intended for students with preaching experience who seek to further develop their own unique preaching presence and voice. Topics will focus on thematic development, use of poetic voice, effective sermon construction, pulpit presence, and preaching through the liturgical year. This course utilizes a high level of peer collaboration and review. All religious traditions are welcome. Some of our students (a maximum of four) will be joining us from offsite. If you plan to take this course as a low resident student, you need to have access to video recording equipment (the quality from a laptop is sufficient) in order to present your sermons.
