2026 Fosdick Lecture on Preaching at Augsburg University [Hybrid]
Augsburg University’s Campus Ministry invites you to the ninth annual Fosdick Lecture on Preaching. This year’s lecture will be delivered by Alan Storey, a renowned Gospel storyteller and facilitator of personal and political change from South Africa. A former conscientious objector during the apartheid regime, Reverend Storey has dedicated his life to the “experimental practice of the Sermon on the Mount,” working extensively on issues of social justice, human rights, and reconciliation.
Wednesday, April 15, 11:30 a.m. refreshments, 12 p.m. lecture
Hoversten Chapel, Augsburg University, 613 S 22nd Ave, Minneapolis
The event is free and open to the public. Register to receive parking and livestream information. In a time when our communities are seeking words of hope and a call back to justice, Rev. Storey’s insights on the Jesus way of peacemaking are timely and vital. We hope you can join us for this inspiring session.
