Mixed Methods Preaching Conference
MAY 2 – 5, 2022
We are proud and excited to present this second conference in a virtual format as a recipient of the Transformative Grant from the Gilead COMPASS Faith Coordinating Center at Wake Forest School of Divinity. This Transformative Grant Initiative highlights the intersection of HIV-AIDS and communities of color, striving to “educate congregations in order to dispel the stigma and support communities of color who are touched by the aids epidemic.”
