Clergy, formation students, and lay people with preaching licences are invited to attend a preaching workshop with the Archbishop of York, The Most Reverend and Right Honourable Stephen Cottrell, during his visit to Australia.

In an Instagram ready, sound bite culture like ours where we're told that people's brains have been rewired and we only have a two-minute attention span, it is easy to stop believing in preaching. This preaching workshop will be a challenging, stimulating, and enjoyable, put heart back into preaching, and explore the craft of the spoken word.

Rediscover confidence in preaching. Explore the craft of the spoken word and gain practical insights for communicating faith in a soundbite culture.

🎙️ A very special episode of the Ridley College Podcast is live!

In this special edition of Inside Ridley, our Principal, Rhys Bezzant, sits down with the Archbishop of Melbourne, Archbishop Ric Thorpe, for a warm and wide-ranging conversation about the church, leadership, and what the next season holds for the Diocese of Melbourne. Ten months into his time in Melbourne, Ric is already brimming with vision and energy. He shares what he's been discovering across the diocese, what excites and challenges him, and where he believes God is at work.

They also talk about what it takes to raise leaders at every level, the upcoming church planting intensive at Ridley, and what he'd say to every theological student sitting in a lecture right now. Genuine, energising, and full of hope for the future of the church in Melbourne.

Plus a rapid-fire round that reveals his sporting allegiance, his favourite Bible verse, and what he'd be doing if he wasn't an Archbishop. 🎧

Learning to preach is like learning to drive a car: you learn by doing it. Or learning to swim. You have to get in the water. And the more you drive or swim, the more confident and skilled you should become.

You don’t lower your golf handicap by playing less golf, and you don’t grow as a preacher by delivering fewer sermons.
