THE PROCLAIMERS PLACE MOVEMENT

Beginning in 2005, Dr. Gregory has given leadership to the Proclaimers Place Seminar Movement.This movement consists of four-day small group sessions focused on one biblical text per day, mov-ing from exegesis in the morning session to homiletics in the afternoon session. Through October,2013, there have been 64 seminars held in 14 states, Oxford, UK, Paris and Rome with a totalattendance of 679. This last summer marked the ninth year at Regent’s Park College, Oxford.Former Principal Rev. Dr. Paul Fiddes considers the longevity and attendance of this seminar to beunprecedented at the college, especially for the consistent number of African Americans who haveattended.The Oxford seminar has been the subject of a paper presented to the Academy of Homiletics at itsChicago meeting in 2012. Related to the Oxford experience has been the Festival of African-American preaching in 2011 where seminar members preached at 27 British Baptist Union church-es. The majority of participants have been African-American pastors with a strong minority ofEuro-American pastors. Former principal Paul Fiddes of Regents Park College, Oxford, certified thatin his memory no such African-American had studied in such numbers at Oxford. Baptist WorldAlliance President David Coffee visited the sessions and used the format of the sessions to shape asimilar format of study led by him in the U.K. Scores of testimonies concerning the impact of thisseminar on some of the leading proclaimers in America may be found at www.gregoryministries.org.Below are the seminars, dates and number of participants through August 2013:
