| Death and tragedy can overwhelm human beings emotionally. Clergy are no exception. Yet, whether the tragedy is a natural disaster, or the death of a close friend, or the suicide of a church member or the death of a member who has not been in worship for years, clergy must proclaim God’s word of hope. In the midst of their own pain and anguish and even when they don’t know the deceased at all, clergy have to preach the word to those in their care. |

| Tom Long, Steve Kraftchick, and Luke Powery will explore how the preacher can proclaim hope in the midst of tragedy, whether death is near to the heart of the congregation and the preacher or more distant from them both. | ||||||||
