An Online Open Enrolment Course
Wednesdays, October 22nd, 29th and November 5th, 2025, 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Christians have proclaimed for centuries that we have good news to share. But this good news does not float free from context—our proclamation of the Gospel has always been geographically shaped and grounded in our particular location. Over the course of three sessions, this preaching workshop will examine the role that our sense of creatureliness plays in how we preach the Gospel in the places where we find ourselves. Weaving together insights from theology and scripture, and drawing on the practice of spiritual disciplines, we will discuss themes of identity formation and belonging, exploring how our claims about Jesus reground and reorient our preaching in relation to the land and our neighbours. At a time of climate crisis and questions about Canada’s future as a country, this workshop is part of crafting a vital homiletical response to the context in which we minister.
FEES
Regular: $80/person
Friends of the College: 70$/person
There will be a $25 late fee for anyone who registers after October 15th, 2025.
