Theology is the established and recorded beliefs of a particular religion. The church rules as it were. A preacher is someone who speaks and emphasizes the church's rules. A teacher is someone who is available to open the minds of those willing to seek and learn.

There's a couple differences and many similarities. A preacher gives the message and the teacher expands on it. One can be a preacher and teacher at the same time, or one or the other. If I deliver the message "Repent for the Kingdom of God is near" that is preaching, if I then expand on it, then it is teaching.

religion is theology..... but a preacher is not necessarily a teacher.... a preacher of The True Christian Faith is to be a teacher. but that, unfortunatly, is not always the case. There are those preaching who claim to be of The True Faith who are not...... And a True preacher is always a student of The Word

A preacher has an agenda - i.e. conversion or following of his particular faith, from a follower's point of view.
A teacher has an agenda as well - to educate his students from a non-biased, scholarly point of view.
Theology teachers are also well versed on more than one faith and don't teach a particular religion as "the way".

A teacher causes one to learn. A preacher just states sentences.

A preacher (pastor/minister/priest) leads worship including a sermon which may be intended to teach, inspire, motivate, or reprove. A teacher may also seek to inspire, motivate, etc, but primarily seeks to teach.

A preacher is a spiritual teacher.
And a school teacher teachs whatever is his/her speciality.

A teacher is humble. A preacher is into theatrics and attitude.

Generally, preaching involves more inspiration and motivation. Teaching is more detailed, more digging into the text of the religion, and less "practical".
