The LORD gave the word

An amusing, despair inducing, frustrating and encouraging piece about preaching by Ruth Gledhill in the Times today here.

It begins well:
Sermons, history shows, can be among the most revolutionary forms of human speech. From John Calvin to Billy Graham, preaching has had the power to topple princes, to set nation against nation, to inspire campaigners to change the world and impel people to begin life anew.

As for the rest ... well read it and laugh / weep / slap your forehead & cheer as appropriate!
