Notre Dame 2019 Marten Program Conference: June 24–26, 2019 - Mystic and Mystagogue: Preaching as Spiritual Leadership
A Catholic preacher is to be a shepherd and a spiritual leader. The key question in preaching is: how do we lead our people deeper into an encounter with the living God? In this conference, we will look to our roots in the Catholic spiritual tradition as a source for deepening our preaching. Together we will discuss what makes preaching thrive: how can a preacher flourish as a spiritual leader? How can we lead others into committed discipleship through preaching?
