Over on the First Thoughts blog we’ve 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 (e.g., church website links, phone numbers). The objective is for these pieces to capture the moment we’re living 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 kelly@firstthings.com
