HOML 544     Memory and Preaching: Engaging Place with Eucharistic Hope  (3)

This course develops preaching and leadership resources for addressing aspects of memory in churches and communities. Among other things, it examines the mimetic/anamnetic impact of Confederate monuments, holocaust memorials, parish memorials, and The Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama. The course explores how place and memory affect what can be said, what needs to be said, and how preaching might serve an important role in interpreting space, advocating for change, and fostering beloved community rooted in holy anamnesis. Class resources will draw on historical study, preaching exemplars, and dialogical approaches to leadership. This course fulfills the preaching elective requirement. Prerequisite: HOML 530.
