How can we teach and learn authentically in a postchristendom culture? Is the monologue sermon still appropriate? Was it ever?! This site is an attempt to begin discussing these questions, whilst exploring the possibility and practicality of interactive preaching.
Interactive Preaching is characterized by four features:
1. It is learner-focused, concerned more about what is learned than what is taught, more about the outcome than the methodology.
2. It is multi-voiced, not dominated by one voice but open to participation by many people.
3. It is open-ended, prepared to leave loose ends and to live with uncertainty, to run the risk of allowing people space to think, to explore...
4. It is dialogue-based, making room for questions, comments, challenges, ideas and exploration.
About interactivepreaching.net
InteractivePreaching.net is all about promoting the practice and values of dialogical, experimental, communal and practical preaching.
Reflecting this, our site aims to be as interactive and open-source as possible. We intend to address, in numerous ways, the issue of moving beyond monologue sermons and include articles, tutorials, reviews and sermons. In keeping with the spirit of the site, you actually have the opportunity to edit or add to one another’s preaching (think Wikipedia!).
The interaction has begun!
Jonathan has made an edit to an old sermon that I posted in the wiki.
