Dr. McKenzie is Professor of Homiletics at Perkins School of Theology. Her teaching specialties include biblical wisdom literature, use of imagination, spiritual formation, preaching as teaching, and the sayings and parables of Jesus.
Get away. Relax. Find yourself in the parables. Learn something to take back to your congregation. Connect with colleagues – for fun, sharing ideas, getting better acquainted. Let your hair down. Laugh. Sing. Pray. Worship.
