Liturgical texts

Preachers typically  either explore one of the Bible Readings which have been heard in a service or  consider the theme of the day - the events of  Christmas Easter, Pentecost,  etc or the Saint being commemorated. But the liturgy includes many texts which become very familiar  through repetition but which are not often thought about.  I am particularly interested in collects and I discuss a number  of those in this section, but also some other important liturgical texts.  Some of these were originally sermons others were articles written for various purposes
