tory_baucumWILMORE, KY—Asbury Seminary hosts Dr. Tory Baucum Feb. 17-19 for the annual Beeson Preaching Series titled, “The Rhetoric of Reconciliation: The Three Moments of Peace-Making.”

 This year’s theme is based on John 4, in which Jesus forgives the Samaritan woman. Baucum will speak in chapel Tuesday-Thursday, as well as host a lunch talk-back session on Wednesday.

 Baucum is the Rector of Truro Church in Fairfax, Va.  In 2014, the Archbishop of Canterbury appointed him as one of the “Six Preachers” of Canterbury Cathedral, a post begun by Archbishop Cranmer in 1540.  He is a leader in both the Alpha and Fresh Expressions Church Planting movement and a graduate and former professor of Asbury Theological Seminary.
