What American Christians Hear At Church

From The New Yorker:

Over the past two years, researchers from the Pew Center have utilized the growing amount of digitally streamed church services to gather data about the contents of sermons in different churches across America. In the fall of 2020, they transcribed almost thirteen thousand sermons from more than two thousand churches, organizing the data into four traditions: Catholic, evangelical Protestant, mainline Protestant, and historically Black Protestant. Casey Cep, for the New Yorker, discusses the patterns that emerged from this data, primarily the language, duration, and political content that differed between traditions.
