Bandy Preaching Conference

From the venue:

Theomusicologist Jon Michael Spencer describes the intersection of melody, rhythm, harmony, form, improvisation, and movement in the sermon and song as a “sacred symphony.” The 2025 Bandy Preaching Conference will celebrate and explore the collaborative creativity of the preacher and psalmist in the worship experience. Conference organizer the Rev. Dr. Teresa L. Fry Brown, Candler’s Bandy Professor of Preaching, has assembled a stellar slate of more than twenty ministers, musicians, scholars, artists, and worship planners to lead us in concert, worship, lectures, panel discussions, and breakout sessions. The Rev. Dr. Lisa Weaver, executive minister of The Riverside Church in New York City, will be the featured lecturer and preacher in worship.
