The Christian Leadership Center at the University of Mary in North Dakota—-which is led by frequent On the Square contributor Leroy Huizenga—-is launching a new website on homiletics. An ecumenical endeavor involving Protestants and Catholics, it includes treatments of the Gospels, discussions of the lectionary texts for each Sunday and major holiday, and reflections on the task of preaching. Contributors include Brant Pitre of Notre Dame Seminary and internet fame, Nicholas Perrin of Wheaton College, and FT’s own Russell Saltzman, among others. The site is here.
