R.I.C.H. in Preaching: Transforming Strategic Leaders Within an Afro-Caribbean Congregation to Become Agents of Radical Inclusive Christian H - Paperback

by Antonio Lamar Torrence (Author)

As many black churches attempt to become welcoming spaces for LGBTQ people, preachers are navigating ways to develop sermons that are more inclusive and welcoming. Pastors and ministers can begin transforming their congregations to become extensions of Christ through preaching sermons about radical inclusive Christian hospitality (RICH). RICH preaching encourages its hearers to embrace those of the queer community as neighbors deserving of love, compassion, and healing.
