Some of you may have noticed that we have recently begun running weekly sermon reviews. We welcome contributions to this feature from writers everywhere, and are interested in reports from all demoninations and faiths. The pieces should run no more than 800-1000 words, include photos of the place of worship, and information to enable fact-checking, i.e. links, phone numbers. The objective is for these pieces to capture the moment we’re living in—chronicling the ways in which ministers, rabbis, and priests address current events, holidays, political issues, social and economic concerns, etc., in their sermons. We want reviews that capture not only the words, but also the setting and emotions of the experience.
Please email your submissions—as soon after the sermon as possible—to FT@firstthings.com .
