A priest-client told me that his sermons were meant to be HEARD, not 
READ--one of the reasons I'm slowly getting through 600 hours of 
theology lectures. He felt the same way about the lectures, and I'm 
discovering missing pieces in some of the lectures among the multiple 
copies that aren't in the transcripts.

Cheers,

Richard
