I guess the most relevant level for doing surveys about preaching is our own congregations, though many of us perhaps don't have the nerve to find out what people really think.<br /><br />I'm sorry for being critical of the website, I was just surprised that a body on communication in a digital age wasn't David Keenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872644403415655350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35594660.post-54112332068989019912010-01-20T17:51:24.085+00:002010-01-20T17:51:24.085+00:00The research was carried out by CODEC at St John&#...The research was carried out by CODEC at St John's College on behalf of the College of Preachers. You can obtain a copy for only £5 from St John's College - theresa.phillips@durham.ac.uk - sadly we can't publish the complete copy online as research costs money and we need to recoup some of the costs. By the way, its a PILOT survey - small scale - to see if a larger survey is needed -Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35594660.post-41464996001326846772010-01-19T18:53:37.213+00:002010-01-19T18:53:37.213+00:00Paul - I find every sermon a challenge!

J John is the nearest thing in Christian terms. But plenty of stand-ups manage to develop an argument and hold an audience at the same time. <br /><br />Doug - yup, not sure if Ruth G has the inside track on some of David Keenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872644403415655350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35594660.post-60871981751077720292010-01-19T18:35:27.867+00:002010-01-19T18:35:27.867+00:00Perhaps as a relative newcomer to the CofE, I am s...Perhaps as a relative newcomer to the CofE, I am still as the stage of believing in "The Sacrement of the Word".<br /><br />I can recall many, unmemorable homilies from my days in the RC Church many years ago, but feel that the CofE has awakened something in me, where I take note of sermon content and try to apply something of them in my life.

There's every sense of worthwhile things being studied by serious people, and very little of them being used naturally or enthusiastically. I mean, their blog averaged a post a month last year.
