Saint John’s School of Theology and Seminary is now enrolling for an online synchronous course titled “Preaching the Rites<\/strong>,” taught by Deacon Frank Agnoli<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course will explore approaches to preaching at occasional rites \u2013 focusing on baptisms, weddings, and funerals. Given the diversity of persons who might gather for these rites of passage, how might the preacher speak a word that is both welcoming as well as evangelizing?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dates:<\/strong> Thursday: 1\/29, 2\/5, 2\/12, 2\/19, 2\/26, 3\/5, +1:1 meeting during the week of 3\/9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time:<\/strong> 6:30-8:00 P.M. Central<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more information, visit Saint John’s School of Theology Continuing Education<\/a> page, or contact Saint John’s at gradschool@csbsju.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This course is part of Saint John’s Obsculta <\/em>Preaching Initiative grant, in supporting preaching and formation around the word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
