About the Author

Lynn Brinkley, who serves as a guest preacher herself and also works with student services and alumni relations at Campbell University Divinity School, addresses the issues of preaching and hosting etiquette in a manual written for current and future ministers — and those who instruct them — and also for churches. Based on scriptural guidelines, it addresses proper pulpit decorum and principles of hospitality and honoraria. A seminar on preaching etiquette, complete with an extensive questionnaire, is also included.
