This paper examines how face threatening acts (FTAs) are mitigated with politeness strategies (PSs) in Christian sermonic discourse and argues that ministers use PSs as strategic rhetorical moves aimed at achieving their overall discourse goal of gaining favorable hearing for their messages. Focusing on four types of FTAs and nine PSs, the study has found that even though the degrees of mitigation of FTAs vary across church groups, all the ministers make a prudent mix of FTAs and PSs as evidenced by the correlation between the number of FTAs and PSs.
