Abstract:
In the preface to his wonderful book, Ted Loder explains how he started what he describes as, taking
a Sunday and replacing the sermon with an opportunity for people to ask questions to which he
would respond spontaneously. That was the beginning of devoting two worship occasions a year to
a format he called experiments of ‘question and answer’ (Q & A) sermons. However, he immediately
repudiates himself by saying that this departure was wrong on two counts. They were not sermons and
his responses were not answers – at least in the sense of being complete or conclusive. The answers he
presented rather expressed his theological education and thinking, as well as his experience as Christian
and as pastor.
