I have a few questions about open air preaching.
Is it a legitimate means of evangelism?
For those who would see the pulpit as the only means of biblical evangelism, is it appropriate to "move the pulpit" outside the church doors?
If not, do you approve of the ministries of such men as Whitefield?
If it is a legimate practice, would it be restricted to an ordained officer?
What would 21st century open air preaching look like? Where would it take place? Would your sermons be extemporaneous or prepared?
I am particluarly interested in what those who would see evangelism as taking place primarily from the pulpit would say, i.e. Drs. McMahon and Clark.
Thanks!
