St. John Henry Newman - The Salvation of the Hearer the Motive of the Preacher

“It requires nothing great, nothing heroic, nothing saint-like... it requires nothing more than faith, a single purpose, an honest heart, and a distinct utterance.“

This sermon was first preached at the opening of the Birmingham Oratory in 1849. It is found in one of Newman’s earliest publications after his conversion, a volume entitled Discourses to Mixed Congregations.
