Muslim preaching has been central in forming public opinion, building grassroots organizations, and developing leadership cadres for the wider Islamist agenda. Based on in-depth field research in Egypt, Patrick Gaffney focuses on the preacher and the sermon as the single most important medium for propounding the message of Islam. He draws on social history, political commentary, and theological sources to reveal the subtle connections between religious rhetoric and political dissent. Many of the sermons discussed were given during the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, and Gaffney attempts to describe this militant movement and to compare it with official Islam. Finally, Gaffney presents examples of the sermons, so readers can better understand the full range of contemporary Islamic expression.
Pastors serving for extended periods of time like leaders of Fortune 500 companies, should identify potential successors. Unfortunately, this does not happen. The leadership does not consider transition until it's too late, without an identified successor being groomed for the job. The congregation is then not prepared for the transition. Pastoral transition, especially in the African-American church, is approached with extreme reservation. Ministries that have the freedom to self-govern too often keep to themselves during times of transition, when resources beyond their walls could assist them in their seasons of change. The author identifies many of the causes of the present-day plague of empty pulpits across America and offers techniques to combat them.
