Significant people in the Bible, including Jesus, were described as white by missionaries and early users of the Bible. Thus, it is vital to recognize and expose Black heritage in the Bible and Christianity through preaching to expand self-esteem and win religious favor among members of the African American community. Knowledge and understanding of the purpose and the presence of Black people in the Bible will build a sense of belonging, while allowing infinite religious expression. Analysis of preaching Black presence in the Bible to build up self-esteem of African American congregations is the intent of this thesis.

Can the comic spirit enliven preaching in these contexts? This is not just a theoretical question but a practical and pastoral one. A praxis for preaching with the comic spirit may be characterized by the intentional use of humor, levity, wit, and comedy to reveal theological insights. Sermons in LGBTQ+ affirming congregations can be more effective by utilizing expressions of the comic spirit that are informed by the respective contexts, with special interest given to the intersectional identities and lived experiences of queer listeners. The author, an openly queer ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, engages this topic as a self-examination of praxis and centers his research primarily within three Houston congregations. Before presenting findings, literary reviews include a queering of cishet scholarship in comic homiletics and an examination of queer theologians as cognate to further inform the contextualized praxis. Where cishet homileticians have studied stand-up comedians, the author bridges the queer research gap by exploring drag performers as muse. A four-part research approach—including surveys, focus groups, field observations, and interviews—serves to inform the developing praxis and prove the thesis: the comic spirit can enliven and enhance preaching in LGBTQ+ affirming contexts. Three homiletical strategies for a queer-informed comic spirit emerge from the project: (1) disarming tension to engage the listener, (2) fostering congregational connection, and (3) balancing depth and levity. Each of these strategies serve to impact the listener through queer-affirming sermons that inspire theological insights."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/downloads/bc8257c6-8b09-484e-a9a5-eca5a518cba7?file=thumbnail","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["admin_set/default-one_step_mediated_deposit-approving","admin_set/default-one_step_mediated_deposit-depositing","admin_set/default-one_step_mediated_deposit-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_ids_ssim":["bc8257c6-8b09-484e-a9a5-eca5a518cba7"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["DMin Papers"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["5fee7d74-6f58-4c88-a3b1-860b847dd7c2"],"file_set_ids_ssim":["bc8257c6-8b09-484e-a9a5-eca5a518cba7"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Theses and Dissertations"],"account_cname_tesim":["ctschicago.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"read_access_person_ssim":["yasmine.abou-el-kheir@ctschicago.edu"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"_version_":1836659645558554624,"timestamp":"2025-07-03T20:38:51.949Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2025-04-21T19:55:14Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2025-07-03T19:50:28Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"ec8c56ea-294e-4004-9625-44934c10ddcd","accessControl_ssim":["0df4a9fe-f27f-4d7c-b053-1dc2443bff47"],"hasRelatedMediaFragment_ssim":["d8b7a35b-6eda-404d-82da-c7555a682085"],"hasRelatedImage_ssim":["d8b7a35b-6eda-404d-82da-c7555a682085"],"depositor_ssim":["jessica.margraveschirm@ctschicago.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["jessica.margraveschirm@ctschicago.edu"],"title_tesim":["Preaching to Remember, Recognize and Re-Invigorate - Empowering Grinnell United Church of Christ Congregational to Re-Imagine its Activist Roots and be a Force for Justice in the Twenty-First Century"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2025-04-21T19:55:13Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2025-07-03T19:50:28Z","isPartOf_ssim":["admin_set/default"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["ab29e800-3b80-42cd-a005-863220f5d41a"],"hasLease_ssim":["28fd1bc5-9f78-4d6c-9f24-a35b429f1b8c"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["0"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["0"],"institution_tesim":["Chicago Theological Seminary"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry in Preaching"],"discipline_tesim":["Preaching"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Chicago Theological Seminary"],"year_tesim":["2025"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

Located in Grinnell, Iowa, a small town with a population of 10,000, Grinnell UCC is a predominantly white, highly educated, and middle-class congregation, with a rich history rooted in abolitionism and a commitment to justice, inclusivity, and economic equity. This project explores the role of preaching in mobilizing the congregation to reclaim its abolitionist roots, engage in contemporary struggles for justice, and transform into a force for ethical and political activism in the Twenty-First Century.\r\n\r\nThe church’s commitment to social justice has evolved through multiple historical movements, including the Social Gospel Movement of the early Twentieth Century and the Civil Rights Movement, and most recently, through its adoption of an Open and Affirming covenant and a focus on accessibility and economic justice. Despite these efforts, there is an ongoing need to deepen the congregation’s engagement with justice in ways that address both historical and contemporary issues, particularly through the lens of abolitionist and liberation theologies. This project, therefore, examines how preaching through an activist and social justice-oriented lens can catalyze the congregation’s growth in this way and reimagine its role in promoting justice.\r\n\r\nBy remembering the church’s abolitionist past, recognizing its current justice priorities and re-invigorating the congregation’s imagination of a more just world in the future, this research aims to empower Grinnell UCC to take more effective action in its local context, with a focus on how privilege and positionality can be leveraged in the pursuit of justice. Ultimately, this work seeks to inspire both the present congregation and future generations of Grinnell UCC members to continue the church’s legacy of justice, ensuring that the faith community remains a vital force for positive change in the world, rooted in the teachings of Jesus with a commitment to the flourishing of all people.\r\n\r\n"],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/downloads/d8b7a35b-6eda-404d-82da-c7555a682085?file=thumbnail","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["admin_set/default-one_step_mediated_deposit-approving","admin_set/default-one_step_mediated_deposit-depositing","admin_set/default-one_step_mediated_deposit-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_ids_ssim":["d8b7a35b-6eda-404d-82da-c7555a682085"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["DMin Papers"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["5fee7d74-6f58-4c88-a3b1-860b847dd7c2"],"file_set_ids_ssim":["d8b7a35b-6eda-404d-82da-c7555a682085"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Theses and Dissertations"],"account_cname_tesim":["ctschicago.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"read_access_person_ssim":["jessica.margraveschirm@ctschicago.edu"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"_version_":1836656604038037504,"timestamp":"2025-07-03T19:50:31.329Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2025-04-04T03:00:14Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2025-07-03T15:54:57Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"8181f9fa-91c2-4053-86d0-e286f2cee640","accessControl_ssim":["cf77f9f8-1ddc-4815-83e6-0f12a0c34623"],"hasRelatedMediaFragment_ssim":["7507d833-2c0f-44d0-97b6-a199af589be8"],"hasRelatedImage_ssim":["7507d833-2c0f-44d0-97b6-a199af589be8"],"depositor_ssim":["dezo.schreiner@ctschicago.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["dezo.schreiner@ctschicago.edu"],"title_tesim":["Overcoming The Challenges of Preaching in An Intercultural Congregation"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2025-04-04T03:00:13Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2025-07-03T15:54:57Z","isPartOf_ssim":["admin_set/default"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["a53ce632-919d-4253-9ee8-1bad7f866a90"],"hasLease_ssim":["90b3afed-2b4d-4af6-9327-296ba05d5709"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["0"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["0"],"institution_tesim":["Chicago Theological Seminary"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry in Preaching"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Chicago Theological Seminary"],"year_tesim":["2025"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

This risks scripture being misinterpreted in public spaces and leaves us without an engaged biblically literate audience with the skills to push back.

This paper argues that prophetic preaching about economic justice can transform the community. In this context, I define prophetic preaching as speaking to or addressing the systemic barriers that have historically, culturally, politically, physically, mentally, spiritually, and economically, undervalued, underestimated, or marginalized people of African descent (in the United States) with the purpose of offering an analysis and critique for correction.  This paper will address prophetic preaching with a lens towards an analysis and critique of what is required to preach prophetically concerning the economic barriers that prevent economic justice. Thus, prophetic preaching about economic justice to achieve economic justice requires three pillars to ultimately transform the community: 1) the preacher must have a growing knowledge of financial literacy: meaning an understanding of how the economy functions on a micro and macro level. 2) The preacher must advocate for progressive public policy in the context of a local, state, national and/or global economy. 3) Finally, the preacher must demonstrate the ability to utilize substantial financial resources to empower their ministerial context which optimistically includes the broader community. Ultimately, this paper argues that for preachers to develop sermons that centers issues of economic justice, the preacher must first begin by striving to be financially literate.
