No, I don't think I've seen anyone, including myself, that the medium of
preaching isn't getting it done.  The only thing we've been arguing is that
"preaching" is not necessarily relegated to sermonizing in the pulpit.
While certainly that is the best way the Word is fed to the people, it is
not the only way.  The scriptures use the words "preach", "teach",
"proclaim" etc.  To impute "verbal sermonizing" as the restrictive
qualification on those words is to go beyond what scripture does.
