It is planned to add resources for each week and at a future date to develop an index of topics and biblical references. I aim to post a sermon for the following Sunday at least by Tuesday each week, and usually a week or two ahead. An archive of previously posted material is maintained. Material provided here is offered for general use with the expectation that preachers and worship leaders will be selective and adapt it to their own situation and purposes. It is largely what was used in my last parish although it will often have drawn on notes from previous cycles of the Lectionary and some more recent work has been added.

The doctrinal standards which I have observed have been those of the Uniting Church in Australia as I understand them. That is in a combination of traditions that is catholic, evangelical and reformed without any strong denominational emphasis, and with a commitment to membership in the one holy catholic and apostolic church. I have normally sought to give a straight forward biblical exposition, having regard to the fruits of scholarship and the need to address the present situation. The sermon is usually the written version which was made available in the narthex for those who wished to take a copy for further study, but what was actually preached would normally have been a more informal in language and shorter. Local asides and illustrations might have been included.
