The Festival of Homiletics invites approximately twenty speakers per year from diverse backgrounds, traditions, and ministry settings. We know that, at times, people may be challenged by different theological perspectives or thoughts represented. It is not the Festival’s intention to create a cohesive theological line and we do not censor anyone's preaching or presentations; rather we hope to engage the complexity of today's culture through the wideness of God's grace and varied presence as revealed to us through the witness of Scripture and the person of Jesus Christ.
When selecting presenters, the Festival of Homiletics is committed to inviting a diverse slate of voices. Each year, a number of factors are at play, including: the chosen theme, participant evaluations from previous years, financial stewardship, and speaker availability. While the balance is not always what we had intended, we hope that there is one thing from each speaker that might inspire your preaching.
