DOGMA and FAITH

Bad sermons are an affliction usually borne with tolerance by most congregations. Saint Paul’s sermon in Athens in the reading from Acts was one such. He tried to be trendy and he failed until he stopped pandering to the Greek love of philosophical argument and simply proclaimed the gospel. It’s a lesson all clergy need to learn.

People in the pew aren’t necessarily interested in what John Paterson may or may not believe. What they want to know is whether or not the person they’re listening to is saying what’s true to the gospel. How I package my words to you matters only if what I say conforms to what the Church actually proclaims to be its belief.
