Weary Throats & New Songs: 20th Anniversary Commemoration of Teresa Fry Brown’s Publication and Contemporary Challenges for Black Preaching Women

Integrating women’s voices in proclamation, exhortation, and rhetorical methods, including “the work of exegeting lies.” This session seeks to highlight the power of women’s voices in recognition of Fry Brown's publication and the national gaze on the milestone of sermonic delivery of Rev. Dr. Gina Stewart, pastor of Christ Missionary Baptist Church as the first invited female preacher in the 129-year existence of the National Baptist Convention and the ramifications of the responses heard globally.
