In partnership with the Frederick Buechner Center (USA), Torch Trinity is pleased to announce its semi-annual Fredrick Buechner Contest in Writing and Preaching (Fall 2019). The aim of the contest is to encourage excellence in theological writing and preaching for the next generation of burgeoning ministers who are committed to sound biblical exegesis and theological reflection.
