The street preacher?

So, what's the point of 'street preaching'?

Paul went to the place of discussion in Acts 17 and engaged in real discussion people who were there to discuss. He sought to form real connections, however transient they might have been.

Street preaching by contrast just hoses people with a blather of Bible-talk that ignores them as individuals with real concerns and life conditions. It denies people's realness and value as being in God's image. It also presumes that the hearers would know what he was saying, but without a biblical context, not so.

Attempted evangelism, I'd call it.

Perhaps it might work in parts of the USA where there is a large proportion of the population who might be familiar with the blather, but not in any other Western country, I would think.
