U2 fans interested in sermons based on Irish band's song lyrics

by Jerry L. Van Marter

LOUISVILLE - Three Episcopal priests, all fans of the Irish rock band U2, are
looking for sermons and homilies based on the supergroup's lyrics for a book
they hope to publish.

	"This is not a book trying to prove anything about U2 themselves,"
the Rev. Beth Maynard told the Presbyterian News Service in an email about
the project. "This is a book of examples of how religious leaders are
integrating spiritually informed pop culture into their proclamation of the
gospel."

	Maynard's collaborators are the Rev. Raewynne Whiteley and the Rev.
Mike Kinman. Their working title - borrowed from a U2 song - is Get Up Off
Your Knees: Preaching the U2 Catalog.

	The deadline for submissions is Dec. 15. For more information, visit
the project Web site: http://home.attbi.com/~u2sermons.
