Homiletics Seminar

Two days ago, I attended a seminar on homiletics (preaching) by Dr. Rondey Ragwan. I felt that it was of a high quality. He engaged a lot with the audience, too (or tried to). He focused on the interpreter (Theology of Self), the text (Theology of Scripture), and lived realities (Theology of the World). OBSERVATION: I asked the final question of the seminar, to which Dr. Ragwan reponded, "Is my transport ready?" There was laughter all round. My question was: what is indispensable in the Church. The consensus was: preaching, certainly.

POSTSCRIPT: Here's a photo that someone else took of the event. It is interesting to me because it demonstrates what a difference dynamic range makes to a photo. Many cameras -- including mine -- permit one to set this. With higher dynamic range, the difference between light and dark is not so stark. No camera has a dynamic range as good as the human eye.
