Preaching When the World is in the Room

Bishop Saju Muthalaly will lead this session on intercultural preaching

Many preachers now find themselves speaking into congregations shaped by different cultures, languages, generations and life experiences. This session will explore how preaching can remain deeply rooted in Scripture while engaging the rich diversity of today’s Church and society. Drawing on research, pastoral experience and work in intercultural preaching, Bishop Saju will offer practical tools for preaching with greater curiosity, humility and confidence when the world is in the room.
