CLTS to host preaching retreat
ST. CATHARINES, Ont. – Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary (CLTS) in St. Catharines, Ontario has announced it is holding an inaugural preaching retreat, from June 17-19.
“Drawing from the groundbreaking work of our seminary’s homiletic professors, this retreat is designed to empower pastors, both experienced and new, to refine their preaching skills,” the seminary writes in an announcement. “The retreat will delve into the use of classical rhetoric in the pulpit, the art of crafting dynamic sermons, the exploration of virtue ethics in preaching, and the refinement of linguistic precision.”
“We recognize that preaching is hard work,” the release continues. “For that reason, we’ve also organized enjoyable activities including a tour of one of Canada’s oldest theological libraries, a winery tour, and a delightful barbeque in the vineyards.”
Those who register before April 30 will receive a discounted cost. For further details on the program, to register, or for information on helping to sponsor the event, visit CLTS’ website.
