Moments in Time

This book is about preaching in The United Church of Canada. Gathering together two or three sermons from each decade in the first century of the United Church’s life, authors HyeRan Kim-Cragg and Don Schweitzer share the perspectives of diverse United Church preachers facing events from the formation of the United Church to the challenge of online ministry during a pandemic. Each sermon is accompanied by historical context, an analysis of homiletical techniques, and the influence of each sermon and preacher.

From the opening chapters of Moments in Time, readers will be transported across the last century to survey the landscape and legacy of this beloved institution that has played such an influential role in Canadian religious history and society.
