What is 'A Company of Preachers'?

A Company of Preachers is a loose connection of men and women who are all keen to promote the importance of preaching at a time when this activity has received such a bad press in the UK, and also to develop their own preaching skills. This Church hosted a conference under this banner in the summer of 2005 and then also in June 2007 (details here); additionally there has been a number of Saturday breakfasts for people within easy reach of Guildford with the aim of focusing on a number of specific issues on the subject of preaching, e.g. the Authority of Scripture; Narrative Preaching; Homiletic Skills etc.

BREAKFAST:

Saturday June 7th 2008

Gifts and Offices: How preaching can be charismatic

Typically charismatic gifts such as prophecy, words of wisdom and words of knowledge are often set in opposition to the ministry of the Word and Sacraments. Ian Stackhouse will lead this session exploring ways in which the charismatic and the institutional need to come together - preaching being a case in point.

If you would like to come please confirm your place before June 4th to Sara Sims. Thank you.
