Many congregations provide funding for continuing education for their pastors.
If yours does not, Preaching Days is a perfect event for beginning such a fund. The Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania will cover one-half of the costs of the daily program registration for all Episcopal clergy, lay professionals and seminarians. The Somerville Lecture is supported by First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, PA, in memory of G. Ernest Somerville, a founding member of the Academy of Preachers Board. The Lundin Lecture is supported by Atonement Lutheran Church, Wyomissing, PA, in memory of Richard R. Lundin, a pastor of the congregation who was active in supporting Preaching Days. Funding for the Stephenson Lecture is made possible by a generous gift from longtime Academy Board member, the Rev. Dr. James R. Stephenson, and his spouse, Loretta.
