The Preaching of Joy This Festival of Preachers’ theme this year is The Joy of Preaching and I started to wonder about the word joy and what it might be all about… I started also to wonder how the joy of preaching, already assumed in the theme, is inextricably connected to the preaching of joy. There is no way of having joy to preach if we don’t know what the preaching of joy might mean. If that is so, how do we preach joy or about joy? How do we, bearers of this Christian joy, go about the preaching of joy?…
