Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS) invites interested alumni
to participate in the second annual environmental sermon contest. Last
year, with funding made available through the Kreitler Environmental
Fund, VTS offered an opportunity for clergy to prepare and preach an
environmentally and/or creation-centered sermon for consideration in a
contest. Monetary prizes were awarded for the top three finalists (click here for more info).
The deadline for submitting a sermon to VTS for the 2019
Environmental Sermon Contest is June 14. Participants are encouraged to
focus on Earth Day and its theme of protecting our species or on
Rogation Days, traditionally the three days before Ascension Day, that
are associated with the stewardship of creation. Earth Day and Rogation
Days offer a unique space of time for reflection, writing, and preaching
on our collective care and concern for our world.
To learn more about this opportunity or to submit a sermon, email Linda Dienno, vice president for Institutional Advancement, ldienno@vts.edu.
