I find the sequences hard to penetrate. I've actually found MoR to be a much better introduction.

But either way I'd like to see them more prominent on the site.

It seems like you're not interested in a core, then, but a popularization. (This is intended as a clarification, not an insult.) If one wanted an introduction to Christianity, just opening up the Bible is not a good plan.

That's somewhat true - I think a good introduction is a key part of what I'm looking for.

However I also like the fact that MoR is a well structured work (start reading at the beginning, continue to the end) with some sort of consistent editorial style, which the sequences seem to lack.
