The second Festival of Preaching took place at Christ Church, Oxford this week, organised by the Church Times and Canterbury Press.

Keynote talks by Paula Gooder and Mark Oakley can be viewed on our Facebook page here and here. Other talks will be available to purchase as audio files - keep an eye on the Festival of Preaching website for an announcement, or the Festival’s Twitter account.

And on this week’s Church Times Podcast, we bring you one of the talks from the Festival, by the American author and activist Brian McLaren: “Worship that destroys (and saves) the world”.

There will be full coverage of the Festival of Preaching in next week’s Church Times (20 September).
