Peter Tufford Kennedy is a theologically trained artist with a Masters in theology from Wycliffe College, Toronto. He has been a principal actor in over 70 television commercials seen all around the world. Continually thirsting for understanding the human condition to better inform his performances, he also writes for film and TV; has written, performed and produced sketch and improvisational comedy with some of Canada’s best comedians; been a PA, parish evangelist, producer, director, stage-manager, camp counsellor, VBS director, bartender in Paris France, a construction worker, and a Naval Signalman in the Canadian military. He currently has four children with his 1st wife… with whom he still lives… happily In a nutshell, The Sermon Project aims to give life back to transformative voices of the church’s past that have been silenced for various reasons. Indigenous, Black, Asian and other men and women who have stood in the gap to open scripture and preach their love for Jesus. They left a Godly heritage – which very few today have ever heard before because their sermons only exist before audio recording was invented. The project will hire professional performers to record studio quality sermons in audio format and offer them free to the Church. These recordings will have manifold benefits for the Church from congregational formation and evangelism (how did they share their faith), education (how did it apply to their lives), bible study (how did God speak to His people) and general interest (history, theology, ecclesiology, pneumatology etc), not least of which will be a renewed respect and love for The Word of God. We believe God put this project on our hearts for a reason and that NOW is the time to hear these voices. Our initial theme for the Sermon Project will be JUSTICE. How did past culturally- diverse preachers – often living in the face of injustice – preach about the justice of the Lord? How did preaching about God’s Justice offer hope to the nations, and a challenge to the Church? The Sermon Project is an Imago project. http://sermonproject.com
