Employing the hermeneutic of imagination is most difficult for seminary trained preachers exposed to exegetical principles, introduction to preaching processes, and those dreaded colleague critiques. This webinar with Womanist and Rhetorical Ethics specialist Rev. Kanisha Billingsley encourages you to dust off your creativity as you ignite your soul and your people.

Lent was originally a time of preparation for baptism. We reclaim the waters of baptism as our call to love ourselves as children of God, understand God’s love for all people and then “go and do likewise” as we love the world and its peoples–resisting evil and alleviating suffering in all its forms. To connect Lent with our call as disciples to acts of justice–making a better world–we see the development of our inner spiritual journeys as essential to our work. And there is no more important time than now for offering more love in this divided world.
