Abstract

Preaching effectively can be challenging in any diverse congregation, but that challenge is amplified in an intercultural congregation. Over the past three years, I have intentionally crafted sermons to further the maturity and dialogue within my target congregation in Kansas City, Missouri. These experiences of preparing and preaching sermons in an intercultural setting have shown how challenging this can be. This structured investigation seeks to evaluate and interrogate the challenges of preaching in an intercultural congregation, test preaching strategies to best reach all persons and encourage healthy and just interactions between diverse groups. The inquiry includes preaching project sermons and analyzing questionnaires responses. My inquiry has yielded a process of awareness, contemplation, and designed response that can be used by preachers in diverse environments such as multicultural and intercultural congregations. This process can be used individually or in a group.
