Plagiarism in the Church
This was a very good posting at Think Christian. And while I have been careful to attribute whenever I find an item, I am sure that many (same as I felt in college) feel that there is no way to spend all your time attributing content (you never get to the point when you do that). Regardless, a little more time to check yourself earlier would make for fewer headaches later.
Article snippet:
With the rise of the internet, plagiarism is now ridiculously easy to do, and if you’re a pastor hard-pressed to get your sermons written on time, the temptation to lift ideas (and sometimes entire sermons) from other sources must be immense. (And let’s not forget that the line between stealing a sermon from somebody and simply incorporating their ideas into your own sermon is often pretty blurry.)
Read the rest of the article, and make sure that you check your sources and attribute where appropriate :)
