I spent most of the week in Atlanta at the Festival of Homiletics and staying with my clergy friend Susan. I got to tour the church where she serves - Simpsonwood UMC - and they have this gorgeous bas relief on the altar area.
The church where we were for the festival was Peachtree Road UMC (I was there for a different training last year).
Susan and I with our friend Emily from Florida.
Here we are with our friend Laurie from North Georgia for dinner one night (rooftop Hyatt restaurant)
And here Emily and I are with four other clergywomen from Florida.
We got to hear a lot of great preaching!
Dr. Anna Carter Florence from Columbia Seminary
Dr. Teresa Fry Brown from Candler Seminary
Dr. Otis Moss III from Trinity UCC in Chicago
Including running into two of my seminary professors who have moved on to other places. They were awesome and I got to talk to both of them.
Dr. Joy J Moore, president of Northern Seminary
Dr. Brent Strawn from Duke University
So glad for the time away to soak up good preaching!
