www.kn.sbc.com/wired/fil/pages/listpreachergr.html
This is an internet hotlist of links for preaching, taken from a recent article in
New Theology Review by Gregory Heille, O.P.
"The person who preaches in the context of the liturgical assembly is... a mediator, representing both the communtiy and the Lord. The assembly gathers for liturgy as a community of faith, believing that God has acted in human history and more particularly, in their own history. The community gathers to respond to this living and active God."
- U.S. Bishops, Fulfilled in your Hearing (1982)
