Emmanuel College’s Centre for Religion and Its Contexts is hosting the “Rethinking Preaching” Conference 2021–How Has the Pandemic Challenged Preaching? on August 20-21.

Our keynote speakers, Prof. Frank Thomas (Christian Theological Seminary) and Prof. Carolyn Helsel (Austin Theological Seminary), and 10 experienced workshop leaders will help us explore the changing contexts of preaching. Visit the conference’s web page for a full description, registration details and schedule.
