Supporting Funds
Each year the Annual Theology Conference receives
income from the Buttars Fund, an endowed fund
established to honour Honor and Melville (Mel) Buttars.
Every 3rd year, the theme of ‘Preaching’ is the focus of
the QSR Annual Theology Conference. When this
happens, both the Mumford Memorial Lectureship Fund
of Eglinton St. George’s United Church in Toronto, and
the Hilliker Preaching Lectureship Fund of Chalmers
United Church in Kingston, give strong financial support
to the Conference.
These particular Funds were
established to honour the engaging preaching ministries
of the Rev. Dr. Robert Mumford and the Rev. Dr. C.
Wayne Hilliker. Generous gifts, such as these ones, are
gratefully received. These gifts serve to assist the cost
involved in bringing widely respected preachers and
workshop leaders to the Conference.

Workshops
The Rev. Dr. Kate Crawford is an
ordained United Church minister,
serving at First-St. Andrew’s
United Church in London,
Ontario. With her doctoral work
in Medieval England, and most of
her ministry in Atlantic Canada,
she brings a diversity of context
to the rich and rewarding task of
preaching within the community
of faith.
In three lectures, she will invite us to ponder the fullness
of our own gifts for proclamation (‘Hello In There!’); the
complexity of the world in which we dare to speak
(Casting About); and bring a medieval mystic’s wisdom
into our conversation (Love Was His Meaning).
A. Challenges of Preaching Today:
A Conversation with Orville James
C.
Listeners of sermons come in all
shapes,
sizes
and
stages
of
development.
Developmental
psychology and ‘Stages of Faith’ theory
suggest that people hear and interpret
in different ways. During research at
Princeton Seminary, Orville tested
deductive, inductive and narrative
homiletical structures to see what type
of sermon best communicated with various faith stages.
Orville James serves at Wellington Square United Church in
Burlington, ON, a congregation striving to proclaim and
serve in Jesus’ name.
Nancy Wilson has held the role of
worship leader in multi-point pastoral
charges (PEI & Ontario) and a
Presbytery position focused on
Mission, Evangelism and Church
Development (Winnipeg, MB). These
roles have given her the opportunity
to experience preaching as both the
deliverer of the message and the
receiver of the good news. Come and join the
conversation as we share observations and insights on
preaching methods of the past and opportunities to
speak to a new generation of church-goers.

D. Challenges of Preaching Today:
A Conversation with Brian Cornelius
Rev. Dr. Pamela Holmes has been
teaching at the School of Religion
since 2003 in the areas of
spirituality, theology and practice
of ministry. She also directs the
Field Education program and
coordinates the Flora Jane Baker
Clergy Sabbatical Fellowship. An
ordained Pentecostal pastor, she
was involved in congregational
ministry and church planting. Her
presentation will focus upon her research in the
intersection of feminist critical theory and Canadian
Pentecostal ministering women.
Challenges of Preaching Today:
A Conversation with Prof. Bill Morrow
I have been preaching professionally
for 35 years. Maturing as an
expository preacher has meant
learning that conflict negotiation is
the essence of the task—not only in
terms of exegesis and application but
with my personal responses to the
text. At the same time, a basic
motivation of biblical writings is to
surprise their readers and challenge
their constructions of reality. How to negotiate the
conflicts so one can still be surprised by scripture?
Challenges of Preaching Today:
A Conversation with Nancy Wilson
After 25 years in congregational
ministry with a relatively traditional
approach to preaching, Brian is
reconsidering and reworking his
preaching style. In recent sabbatical
studies and travels, Brian has explored
the techniques of "narrative therapy"
and its potential impact on the
preaching experience as well as its
impact on using Biblical texts in preaching.
