St. Meinrad Archabbey, Saint Meinrad, Indiana

A day of focused conversation among rostered leaders who feel called to teach and preach about justice, and who are interested in exploring issues such as:

What is the goal of preaching and teaching about justice?
 
How does one preach meaningfully about justice without either directing people what to think or diluting the message into meaninglessness?

What are parameters for choosing the best context for addressing an issue from the pulpit versus in a small group discussion?

What are the effects on the congregation when sensitive issues are addressed and how do we provide pastoral care?

Conversation Partners:

Rev. Dr. Rick Stern, Professor of Homiletics, Saint Meinrad School of Theology
                                           
Rev. Ron Luckey, Pastor of Faith Lutheran Church and Leader in B.U.I.L.D. (Build a United Interfaith Lexington through Direct Action)

Cost: Room (one night) and 3 meals: $79.09

Together and by God's grace we embody God's compassion for the world.
