An Alternative to the Lectionary

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

There is a spiritual hunger in the world today. Many people are seeking answers to life's hard questions. Many people come to church seeking inspiration, help for personal problems, or faith's perspective on life. They come seeking things you cannot find in a search engine. The church has exactly what they need, but too often there is a gap between our message and our ability to send it. Each week, as people pause to learn about faith and get a word of hope, a lot rides on the sermon. Susan Cartmell took a journey across the country to visit churches with great preaching and lively worship. What she discovered was that Evangelical Christians and Unitarian Universalists were using themed preaching effectively to attract new members. Working in her church over the last five years, she has designed a new system for preaching with themes in mainline Protestant churches. She shares her method and her journey in a story that invites you to consider new ways to preach faithfully without using the lectionary.

Autorenporträt

Rev. Dr. Susan Cartmell has led churches for forty years, the latest in Wisconsin where she served as interim senior pastor of a church of 1450 members. Author of UnCommon Preaching: An Alternative to the Lectionary, she was among the first women to lead a multi-staff church. Her curiosity about what makes churches thrive and commitment to learn from her colleagues led her to join with Rev. Peggy O'Connor to interview 53 clergy for this new book.
