Episode notes
Book of Homilies
- The Church of England created the Book of Homilies to address the lack of qualified preachers.
- Churches read these pre-written sermons if no preacher was available, a solution for unhealthy churches.
Criteria for Plagiarism
- Deceit and dishonesty are key criteria for plagiarism.
- Preaching another's sermon as your own is deceptive.
Core Seminar Example
- Capitol Baptist Church uses shared sermon manuscripts for Sunday school classes like Core Seminar.
- Teachers personalize these, and the church openly encourages sharing, avoiding deceit.
