The Internet already presents more UU sermons
than any one person could reasonably be expected to read.
At last count, the Cyber-Sermon Registry linked 10,000 UU sermons:

This illustrates a phenomenon common to the
Internet:
Too many words, too little focus.
This free Sermon Digest Service hopes to be one
small step
toward making UU sermons more accessible to the users of the Interent.
Authors of full-length sermons (or similar
discourses)
are invited to propose their sermons to be distributed
by the First UU Church of the Internet.
These proposals themselves are very short
—about half a page of writing—
which could include a synopsis of the sermon
and/or an outline.
The members of FUUCI
select the next Cyber-Sermon-of-the-Month
on the basis of these synopses and outlines.
Then the author of the winning proposal
transforms the written or spoken sermon
into a screen-friendly cyber-sermon.
These sermon-digest versions
will be the primary format presented to the members.
But authors may choose to provide links
to the full-length versions of their winning cyber-sermons,
in case any readers on the Internet
want to see the more expansive versions.
Winning authors are also encouraged to provide
links
to their other sermons on the Interent
—and
to any other websites or blogs that might interest readers.
