Profound Preaching

A workshop for priests and deacons

with Deacon James Keating, PhD

all new topics for 2010!

 

 November 5, 2010
 Conference Center, University of Saint Mary of the Lake

Mundelein, Illinois
 

Join the Liturgical Institute and Deacon James Keating for one of our most popular annual conferences.

The 2010 workshop addresses practical as well as spiritual issues and addresses the topic of contemplative preaching. Deacon Keating writes:

"The homily is one of the least effective forms of communication if it remains discursive, abstract and lengthy. Contemplative homiletics leads the homilist to approach his preparation and execution of the homily from a perspective that beholds the beauty of scripture. From this contemplative stance the homilist receives the radiance of truth and allows it to tutor him in what to share with the congregation. What will be shared is deep, simple and lasting within the memory because it speaks to the longings of the people for hope, healing and happiness."

Session topics include:

The Theology of Contemplative Homiletics
Contemplative Homiletics: Method
Preparing Your Homilies Using the Contemplative Method
Conclusion: Sharing the Results


Join us for an inspiring day which will help your preaching inspire others.
