TIMOTHY MATTHEW SLEMMONS is Associate Professor of Homiletics and Worship at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary. A Presbyterian teaching elder, he has served churches in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and preached as far afield as Jamaica, Scotland, and Malawi. A past recipient of the David H. C.

His poems in The Just Quiet Wind, and his songs on The Word in the Wind (CD) loosely follow the liturgical calendar and the lectionary.
