I have observed that liberal ministers of all stripes tend to stand in front of the altar, as if taking center stage and focusing attention on themselves.

You know, you're right. That's been my experience. That practice may also be mentioned in these liturgical guidelines. As far as I know, at least in the Catholic Church, the priest is supposed to stand behind the lecturn when delivering the homily.

There are no restrictions on where the homilist stands when delivering the homily.
