From a guest post by Ray S. Anderson at the Faith and Theology blog: Encountering the Word of God: against effective preaching

If one should dare to preach Word of God, be prepared to be exposed to the —naked— event of proclamation

As some of you know, in the PNCC the Word of God – in its proclamation and preaching is considered a sacrament. This post makes that point very well – trust in God to deliver His word through you – not your magical oratorial skills or props. By doing so we are led to an encounter with God’s transformative Word.
