I'm on a conversation every Tuesday with 6 or 7 others--all male (Bern says, "are you talking to the boys..."--all but one are Episcopalians though we came from other places to get there. There are usually 4 priests (plus my brother-in-law, a liberal RC priest) and we often talk about our sermons.
Today, one told us about preaching and having no one mention the sermon to him afterwards.
I'm on the other end of that. Sunday at least 16 or the 20 or so folks at church wanted to talk about my sermon.
Not that I think I'm a better preacher, it's just that some congregations really relish the sermons and others, not so much.
Kind of odd, I think.
Maybe they come for the bread and wine and not the words.
Who knows?
