A Matter of Faith: A Presby Podcast
Harvard, Elon Musk, Corporation or Church? & Sermon Plagiarism w/ Thomas G. Long
Question of the Week:
The church as a denomination, as well as at the congregational level, often finds itself in an identity crisis: Are we a corporation? A non-profit? Or a mission organization? How do we navigate this fine line as people of faith?
Special Guest:
Dr. Thomas G. Long, Professor Emeritus of Preaching, Emory University's Candler School of Theology
Guest Question:
I have a question about preaching and plagiarism--Is it wrong? How can you tell a sermon is plagiarized? How can we stop it (or should we)? Or is this topic moot because preaching as we understand it now will be irrelevant in the future?
Resource Roundup:
A Little Book of Plagiarism
Harvard and the Legacy of Slavery
Twitter and Elon Musk
