College of Preachers Meets in Dublin
The annual residential meeting of the College of Preachers will begin in the Church of Ireland Theological College on Wednesday and continue until Friday. The guest speaker will the Rt Revd John Taylor who was Bishop of St Albans from 1980 to 1995. Many will be familiar with Bishop Taylor's preaching books such as Preaching through the Prophets and Preaching on God's Justice but on this occasion he will be focusing on preaching from the Old Testament.
The College is open to all who have an interest in this vital aspect of the Church's witness, both clergy and laity, and to those preparing for ministry. There can be little doubt of the importance of preaching in the life of the Church and a greater participation, especially from ordained clergy who must preach regularly, in the affairs of the College would be welcome.
