Instead of reading pages online, open the ones you want in quick succession. Then go offline, call them up with the "History" button (Explorer] or Ctrl+H [Netscape], and read at your leisure

Why "honest"?  There's no implication intended here that others preach dishonest sermons. But first-hand experience indicates how difficult it can be for  preachers to say what they really think.

These alternative sermons are offered only as starting points to those who must preach and yet want to make sense of the world and their lives as they are today. It is assumed that those who use the sermons will work out their own illustrations and so on, according to their own situations.

The sermons usually focus on readings either from the Common Worship Lectionary authorised for use in the Church of England, or from the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England.
