A129 Lectionary for Lesser Feasts and Fasts
Resolved, the House of Deputies concurring,
That the 81st General Convention authorize the lectionary for Lesser Feasts and Fasts which can be found as a support document on this resolution and also in the report to the 81st General Convention of Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music.
Explanation
This revised lectionary restores the practice introduced in Holy Women, Holy Men of offering both an Old Testament and an Epistle reading for each commemoration. It also removes repetitious passages and thus allows for a greater exposure to scripture throughout the course of the year. The proposed lectionary includes the calendar additions, deletions, and date transfers proposed in separate resolutions, and should be amended accordingly if General Convention does not approve those changes.
