The Roundtable Pulpit: Where Leadership and Preaching Meet

by John S. McClure, Abingdon Press, TN, 1995

Description

This book supports congregational leaders in involving members in the creation of the sermon, based on the idea that preaching is strongest when the ideas and voices of congregants are included. McClure provides practical approaches for creating a collaborative, "roundtable" preaching model that deepens engagement and makes the sermon a shared expression of faith.

Features

The book introduces the concept of roundtable preaching, where the pastor and congregants gather weekly to study a Bible passage together, using their discussion to shape the sermon. The final chapter includes a case study with practical examples of how your congregation can apply roundtable preaching in worship.

Practical Applications

Read and discuss this book to guide your congregation in developing a collaborative preaching approach, where weekly discussions around scripture between the pastor and congregants inform the sermon, creating a sermon representative of the faith experiences of the congregation..
