Comment: The Sermon Manuscript is a Must

Dwight, who blogs over at Versus Populum, offered quite the contrarian comment on my recent post, I Preached Without a Manuscript. 

Whereas most folks who commented (and who spoke to me at church that day) respond positively to the idea of preaching without a word-for-word manuscript, Dwight takes a sermon more seriously if it is written down in advance.  Read his comment (and the original post and other comments), and leave your own comments over there.
