Sunday I attended a
liturgical church and the sermon itself, which was preached from a pulpit, was
fairly brief. However, much of the service with responsive readings
and scripted text were presented by the pastor having his back to the audience.
Standing before the altar and facing a cross the pastor’s voice was carried
throughout the small auditorium by bouncing off the wall in front of him. Presentation
wise, I got more out of the brief sermon than the scripted text. I’m now trying
to picture Jesus having his back turned to listeners as he taught in the
temple, on the hillside, or from a boat on a lake.
