I'm so psyched that Mary Hinkle is maintaining a weblog. And even more psyched now that she's posted this sermon. I'm not a homiletics professor, so my judgment probably doesn't count for much, but as a layperson who hears lots and lots of sermons -- this is one of the best Advent sermons I've heard/read in a long time.
Posted by hessma at December 11, 2003 11:57 AMMary, you may or may not remember my emailing you last year, while I was casting the net far and wide for submissions to a book of sermons using the songs of U2. But anyway, the book has happened. And (though Mary Hinkle's sermon is fabulous and I think it will be a long time before I get the image of John presiding at a seeker service out of my head), since it's not one of mine, I'd like to nominate a piece by my co-editor as another excellent Advent sermon. No one even has to buy the U2 book to read it, since it's on explorefaith this month.
"Bridging the Betweens"

So go to Beth's blog to read more about the book! http://u2sermons.blogspot.com
