Performing the Word: Preaching as Theatre, by Jana Childers.
Doris Howard is a native New Yorker, so when she began checking out Doctor of Ministry programs, Howard naturally started looking on the east coast. However, despite the large number of seminaries in the New York area, she couldn't find a program that would satisfactorily tend to and cultivate her deep interest in preaching. Then one day in 2006, an unexpected brochure from Luther Seminary arrived in the mail.
"Sermons in Lutheran churches don't speak to my children. They're going elsewhere." A life-long Lutheran with four adult-aged children said this to me recently. Only one of his children belongs to a Lutheran congregation. The rest have left, and the preaching they heard was the major factor in their leaving. What's going on here?
