find_churches_preaching_on
Answer "which churches actually preach on X?". Searches consented sermons for a topic and groups the results BY CHURCH, so instead of scattered passages you get each church with how many of its sermons matched, how closely, and a representative excerpt with its timestamp. Useful for someone looking for a church home who cares what is taught there. No key required. TWO THINGS TO TELL THE PERSON, because they change how the answer should be read. (1) Only churches that OPTED IN to agent discovery can appear, so a church's absence is not evidence it never preaches on this — most churches have not opted in. Never present this as a survey. (2) It is not an endorsement, a rating, or a judgement about any congregation: the ranking reflects how many of a church's sermons matched the topic and how closely, and nothing else. Do not turn it into a recommendation of which church is better or more faithful. Churches that returned to a subject across several sermons rank above one that brushed it in a single passage, because that better answers the question being asked. Pair with find_churches to see where a church actually is.
