    Thank you for this post. I am not ordained. I am a Christian in the Episcopal Church and former seminary professor. As a faculty member I preached once a quarter. Even though I believe I have a preaching voice for social justice, I don’t have the opportunity to preach since I am no longer a seminary professor and there is no opportunity to preach at my church. I learned a lot from your post about how to preach. Your post should be widely disseminated. I hope you will consider submitting it to episcopalcafe.com and Episcopal News Service. I will see if I can post it on my diocesan web site Thank you for your ministry.
