The 2024-2025 cohort of the Preaching Fellows arrive from a cross section of denominations and traditions:

​

  • Church of Christ (Disciples of Christ)

  • The Episcopal Church

  • Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

  • Presbyterian Church ECO

  • Presbyterian Church USA

  • Roman Catholic Church

  • Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod

​​

In spite of their different backgrounds, each one is committed to delivering a keen-edged word from God that points to Christ's benefits given from the cross to all those L-word sinners (with a nod to Robert Farrar Capon): the last, the least, the lost, the leper, the languishing, the (l)broken, the (l)dying, and the (l)dead.
