Why is Preaching a Solo Sport? (Peter Mead)

From Peter Mead, where you can read his fuller post:

The vast majority of churches rely almost exclusively on a solo preacher.  The vast majority of preachers prepare in isolation.  Who turned preaching into a solo sport?

Here are six factors that have influenced this situation.  None of them make a good case for going solo!

1. Tradition!

2. Solitary Spirituality

3. Clergy-Laity

4. Single Salary

5. Fallen Nature

6. Insecurity –
