Academy of Homiletics

Friends:

Even as the semester is coming to an end, various groups of the Consortium continue to be active.

I was happy to attend the opening session of the Academy of Homiletics at Wesley's Mount Vernon Extension on Thursday evening. The Academy is a national professional group. Dr. Lucy Hogan of Wesley was one of the leaders in organizing this annual meeting. Other Consortium Professors of Homiletics helped at various points.

I was happy to be present to welcome the professors--some had come from overseas. I found the opening panel of representatives of 3 publishing houses and 4 professors most enlightening about the state of religious publishing--and especially of the publishing of homiletic materials.

As I have mentioned before on this blog one of the joys of being director of the Consortium is learning from the colleagues--and this was a great opportunity.

Peace,
John
