Divining sermon analysis

How often churches draw on Dr. King’s teaching

Transcribed sermons since 2016-01-01: the beloved community, the dream, love that drives out hate, nonviolence and the rest of King’s vocabulary, by tradition and denomination.

Sermons only: scripture readings, prayers and liturgy in full-service recordings are cut out, using each transcript’s detected sermon span. Evangelical sermons quote far more scripture than progressive ones, so raw counts flatter them. These charts compare each theme with texts every tradition preaches (John 3:16, the Great Commission, Romans 8:28, Psalm 23): 100% means a church mentions the theme as often as those texts. Higher is more often. Themes run from the biggest difference between traditions (left) to the smallest (right); the scale is logarithmic. Hover a dot or bar for the counts.

Per cell: sermons mentioning it per 1,000 · sermons about it (3+ mentions) per 1,000; below, mentions as a share of mentions of the control texts.

Left out for too few control-text mentions to compare: unity, catholic, orthodox, jewish, presbyterian, mennonite.

Over time

The chart above, year by year: each point pools 3 years centred on that year (widened where a tradition has fewer than 30 sermons citing the control texts). MLK Day each January lifts every tradition; pooling by year keeps that from swinging the lines.
