I call the list below by that name because they usually not suitable for a Sunday sermon because they
have one or more of these characteristics:
- They are too complex to cover well in 15-20 minutes
- They are topics for which faithful answers can be found on multiple sides
- They press to close emotionally to some people
- They may be important and faith related, but they are not necessarily “worshipful” for inclusion in a worship service.
- They may have political overtones.
For these
reasons, I think a sermon delivery is too one-way and non-interactive to effectively
address them.
With that
said, here is my list of such topics. Please feel free to add your own in a comment.

Sexuality, cohabitation, weddings, marriage and the Church in the age of the Pill
