I have the rare privilege of serving in two diverse contexts: an African-American National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. church and a predominantly Caucasian divinity school. I have often been called a "cross-cultural preacher" because of my unique and frequent experiences serving and preaching in both arenas. Through my personal observations and opportunities preaching crossculturally, I can honestly state that a manual on preaching etiquette is needed for all contexts. This manual begins with an introduction on the history of etiquette and why it matters. Part one provides an exegetical analysis of key passages of scripture that deal with preaching etiquette. Part two suggests that if greater attention is given to matters of preaching etiquette, the ministry of preaching will be done decently and in order, and those charged with proclaiming God's word will be better equipped to serve in a spirit of excellence. Part three addresses matters of hospitality and honoraria viewed from studying 1 Corinthians 9:3-14, 3 John 5-8, and 1 Timothy 5:17-18. Following some personal reflection, I offer guidelines on conducting a seminar on preaching etiquette.
