Programmed evangelical Friends are distinguished from other groups within the Society of Friends (Quakers) by their use of sermons within the context of their worship services. To our knowledge, there has never been a significant focus of research and resources dedicated to the craft of preaching and communicating the Gospel through vocal ministry among programmed evangelical Friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Friends Preaching Initiative at 91影视 will serve as the innovation\u00a0<\/span>hub for preaching among Friends of the evangelical tradition. It is\u00a0<\/span>important for 91影视 to undertake this research so that the unique nature of Friends vocal ministry may be explored and shared. The uniqueness of Friends includes the concepts of the priesthood of all believers (1 Peter 2:9), sacramental living or letting your life preach\/speak to the work of Christ (Matt. 5:16), the power of the Holy Spirit in our midst that can change a worship service or sermon as needed (Rom. 8), and the spiritual gifts that are equally valuable for the Body of Christ (Eph. 4:11-13). Therefore, undergrad and graduate students will be encouraged to explore research on the history and current practice of vocal ministry (preaching) among Friends. As a result, the Friends Vocal Ministry Project will seek to publish research findings, resource, and training materials for Friends Preachers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Friends Vocal Ministry Research Project hopes to also investigate novel ways to adapt the programmed Friends\u2019 rich history of vocal ministry to new technologies and media formats frequently consumed by the public. In doing so we hope to identify effective methods for delivering God\u2019s message, drawing people into relationship with God, and engaging the church through traditional and non-traditional outreach.<\/span><\/p>\n
