This selection of sermons by John Slater is offered in part as a tribute to him and to his ministry in London over many years but also in part because he was a fine preacher and many of his friends and former parishioners felt a collection of his thoughts and words would be a useful resource. Perhaps for the preacher looking for occasional inspiration or a different way of looking at or understanding some seasonal feast; perhaps for the layperson wanting some inspiration or fresh approach to faith in private reading; perhaps for a confirmation candidate or parish group who might want material for discussion.

While John tended to type and preserve his sermons they are rarely dated but the churches and institutions for which they were written are more frequently named. These range from the London parishes in which he served - All Saints’ Margaret St, St Saviour’s Warwick Avenue, St John’s Wood and St George’s Hanover Square – to include as well King’s College in London, Christ’s Hospital in Sussex, Union Theological Seminary and St Thomas’ Fifth Avenue, both in New York. He always headed his sermons - both with a title which I have included here and with a Latin dedication which I have not, usually either Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam or Laudabo Nomen Domini but very occasionally Domine Exaudi or Deus in Adjutorium. - From the Introduction.
