About Anna Carter Florence:

Anna Carter Florence has a special gift from God to let the text speak it gospel truth among us. She does so through a mix of imagination, daring, fidelity, and shrewdness. Her words will lead and empower the rest of us for the sake of our vocation.
- Walter Brueggemann

With keen insight and a rich background in theater, Anna Carter Florence brings an artist's eye to the interpretation of scripture. She navigates with equal skill both scripture's breathtaking white water and its peaceful coves. Her passionate engagement with the Bible always generates fresh ideas.
- Thomas G. Long

Join us May 18-22, 2009, in Atlanta for the 17th Festival of Homiletics. Over 2100 pastors from all denominations, from all 50 states, D.C., Canada, and several other countries (Australia, Bahamas, South Africa, Switzerland, UK) attended the Festival in Minneapolis in 2008! Register early since we anticipate that the conference will fill up quickly. Also make your hotel reservations very soon since Atlanta has another city wide event happening at the same time and hotel rooms will be limited.

Some of our speakers will address coming lectionary texts.

This festival will include Liturgical, Blended, and Jazz Worship (and Gospel music).

With its compelling seminars and opportunities for peer interaction, the Festival of Homiletics is the premier conference for improving your preaching effectiveness today... . Any religious communicator would do well to spend time in the presence of these outstanding preachers, who not only communicate skillfully but with a heart of compassion for those who hear them. Peter Wallace, Executive Producer, Day 1 (formerly The Protestant Hour)

Day 1 is a sponsor of Festival of Homiletics.

All conference fees include a $35.00 non-refundable registration fee.
