At once “travel guide” and vision for the future, the Transformation series is good news for the Episcopal Church at a time of fast and furious demographic and social change. Series contributors—recognized experts in their fields—analyze our present plight, point to the seeds of change already at work transforming the church, and outline a positive new way forward. What kinds of churches are most ready for transformation? What are the essential tools? What will give us strength, direction, and purpose to the journey?

Preaching is one of the more “transformable” aspects of the church’s life. Performance teacher Ruthanna Hooke, writing for both clergy and lay leaders, delivers the good and bad news about Episcopalians and preaching.

Ruthanna B. Hooke is assistant professor of homiletics at Virginia Theological Seminary and earned her Ph.D. in religious studies from Yale University. She also teaches performance, movement, and voice training for preachers.
