Preaching in times of the European âRefugee Crisisâ: a symposium in Leipzig (October 2016) and the starting point of a European research project on the relevance of âPulpit Speechâ in society and politics
In October 2016 homileticians from seven European countries met in Leipzig in order to reflect on political preaching in the context of the so called European ârefugee crisisâ. This article shows the background of this conference, gives a very brief overview of the perspectives from different countries, and suggests ways to continue European homiletical research on this theme

2020 â this year will surely be remembered as the year of the Covid19-pandemic. Writing these lines in August 2020, there are around 20 million people infected (numbers increasing continuously) â and the whole population of the world affected by the virus. 750.000 people died in the first months of the pandemic. And all over the world poverty increases, and the most vulnerable are most affected by the crisis.
Are there any âanswersâ sermons can give? Or is this a time for silently listening with the congregations to the word of God? What is the role of preaching in the pandemic â knowing that we will never simply return to the situation âbeforeâ the pandemic, but that our way of living, and also our way of preaching and celebrating worship will change
Editorial
The fourth volume of the International Journal of Homiletics opens with an article from South Africa presenting first results of an empirical research on preaching in times of the pandemic. Marileen Steyn, Cas Wepener and Hennie Pieterse, all three from Stellenbosch University, conducted a grounded theory exploration on Preaching During the COVID-19 Pandemic in South Africa analyzing 24 sermons preached on March 22 and March 29 2020- during the time of the South African lockdown. They convincingly show that in an experience of âdistanceâ (to God and the others) sermons primarily try to present a God who is ânear.â The authors explore the âhingesâ preachers use to help people on the threshold between near and far. They also point to the role liturgy plays together with the words of the sermon and suggest Holy Saturday/Silent Saturday as a metaphor for the homiletical endeavor of preaching in times of crisis. The article is presented in our volume in an English and an Afrikaans version
