Some of my favorite preachers what I learn from them about preaching the Gospel and proclaiming the Word:

• Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer, PhD., DMin., prayer, presentation, proclamation.

• Bishop Carolyn Tyler Guidry, audacity, tenacity, and prayer.

• Rev. Dr. Theresa Fry Brown, resist conforming, then preach and publish!

• Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., Christocentric, Afrocentric, ingenuous personality in preaching.

• Rev. Dr. Carolyn Ann Knight, theological responses to political exegesis.

• Rev. Dr. Freddie Haynes, use of classical and cultural literary agency as sermonic fodder.

• Bishop Vashti McKenzie, managing the manuscript and preaching fresh sermons!

• Rev. Dr. Prathia Wynn Hall (the late), feminine God-imaging and unapologetic inclusive language.

"When the Spirit of God poured out on all flesh -- I GOT WET!"
RevSisRaedorah

"I stood in the total authenticity of my being -- black, preacher, Baptist, woman.  For the same God who made me a preacher, made me a woman.  And, I am convinced that God was not confused on either count."
the Late Rev. Dr. Prathia Wynn Hall
