“African American Preaching and Worship:
New Trends and Time-Honored Traditions”

This set of workshops will examine creative approaches to preaching and worship in African American Christianity. The conversation will focus on the newly-launched African American Lectionary. The African American Pulpit, a leading ministry journal, has formed a partnership with Vanderbilt Divinity School to create the first online, interdenominational lectionary specifically for African American churches. This lectionary, which includes a variety of innovative biblical and theological resources, can enrich persons from different backgrounds in the quest to promote more culturally-inclusive, justice-oriented preaching and worship.
