Stealing sermons: A new twist

“I had to wing it,” she says.

Christianity Today September 19, 2007

We’ve covered sermon stealing several times, as have our sisterpublications. But we haven’t seen this before: The Valley Morning Star of Harlingen, Texas, reports, “Rev. Dori Zubizarreta had to improvise her sermon a few weeks ago after thieves took the written sermon from her office.”

Zubizarreta told the paper, “I was going to use that sermon for the 8 o’clock morning Mass, but I had to wing it. By the 10:30 (a.m.) Mass, I had already worked it out.”

A cynic might say the same thing happens every week in many Protestant and Catholic churches – only without the stealing part.
