[WebWire] 9 June 2007--A study released June 6 finds that Episcopal Church seminarians receive uneven preparation for their lives as preachers.

The study, "Looking Again at Teaching Homiletics," was produced by William Hethcock, an emeritus professor of homiletics at the University of the South’s School of Theology in Sewanee, Tennessee. It was commissioned by the Episcopal Preaching Foundation and released during its annual six-day Preaching Excellence Program (PEP).

In an article Hethcock wrote on the study he made of seminaries, seminarians and congregational search committees, he calls for an update and revision of the teaching of homiletics in Episcopal seminaries.
