Nail on the head
Fr Kevin Reynolds, Pretoria:
As usual, your editorial ”The preaching problem” (January 13-19) hit the nail on the head. It naturally reminded me of several lessons taught by our professor of homelitics, Fr Frank Doyle OFM, at St John Vianney Seminary in the ‘60s.
One was his recommendation that we read the Rand Daily Mail’s editorials by the erudite Lawrence Gandar. In a similar vein, I suggest that in our homily preparation, we preachers could benefit well by regularly reading your editorials both for their clarity of style and relevant content.
Your thought-provoking editorials are characterised always by their breadth of opinion, balance and sensitivity, and are composed in a truly loving way.
This is a forum for your thoughts, opinions and questions. These, in no way reflect the position of The Southern Cross or the Catholic Church.
