Our theme was Preaching that Engages and Transforms.


Session One - Great Expectations? We reflected on our expectations of Methodist Local Preachers asking, what is preaching and what is the purpose of preaching.
Session Two - A View from the Pew using a pilot research Project from St John's College, Durham.
Session Three - Our Contexts was spent looking at post-modern culture.
Session Four- Preaching that Engages asking what communication tools are needed in our pulpits.
Session Five- Preaching that is Transformational reflecting on our personal discipleship and the way in which the story of God has the power to change lives.
