Removal of note about lay individuals carrying Gospel in place of lector

While the GIRM does not foresee a lay person carrying the Gospel, since it is not expressibly forbidden and it is a widespread practice, a legitimate case for it being deemed as acceptable through custom exists. In such case, the entry should not cast a judgment on the issue, only relaying the proper information-- the Gospel book is to be carried by the lector. Kraft 05:52, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Anglican Communion

Am I right in thinking that churches of the Anglican Communion still use the same lectionary as the RC Church? Poshseagull (talk) 14:02, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Other Lectionary Information

This section is notorious for lies concerning how much of the Bible is used by the lectionary, especially the weekly lectionary. Claims such that all of the Bible's verses are used, or all verses of the 4 Gospels are used have been common. They are lies. I have posted an accounting of the lectionary's readings in the past only to find that it has been removed, most likely by those who wish to keep their "flocks" in the dark as well as their paychecks regular. Posted by Warren Vitcenda 8/9/08. This is a true and fair comment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.113.225.188 (talk) 21:43, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Dispite the anonymous editor's overheated rhetoric, he does have a point. Words like "entirely" need to be removed from this article. Rwflammang (talk) 13:29, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

NPOV dispute in history section

The line:

"Both Hebrew and Christian lectionaries hop and skip through the Torah/Bible and include verses which are generally favored by the bureaucracy of the religious community that designed each individual lectionary over the centuries."

arguably violates NPOV, since it seems biased against lectionaries. What does everyone else think? 71.207.212.100 23:03, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

It probably could be phrased better. I would suggest that you should change it, and then we can discuss if your version is better for the article.--Riferimento 23:12, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

There has been a bit of clean up on this part of the article. Is it OK to remove the {{POV check}} tag now? MishaPan 00:25, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Attempting to clean up

Changed capitalisation of headings: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(headings)#Capitalization

"most Western Christians (Roman Catholics, Old Catholics, Anglicans,anthonyies,Lutherans, and Methodists who employed the Lectionary of Wesley)" -- what are "anthonyies"? Wikified denominations.

An ornately decorated Lectionary

I suspect the section "How scriptures are chosen" might not be NPOV.

Daily Lectionary

The history section does not provide any information about daily lectionaries. I am interested in knowing what the logic was in the selection of the daily scriptures and when they came into use in various mainline churches. Does anyone have an idea what the history is or a source for this type of information?--Riferimento 23:38, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

What you want are the readings for the Daily Office.jonathon 20:40, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Is the Daily office or the daily mass with its 2-year cycle that he wants? If its the office, a discussion of that does not belong in an article on the Lectionary, but on the Breviary. Info about the breviary cycle can be found here: [1]. This article could benefit from information given about the 2-year daily mass cycle which is contained in Roman Catholic lectionaries. Rwflammang 21:53, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Judaic Lectionary

The article mentions Judaic lectionaries but only goes into the various Christian ones. Perhaps a link to some history of Judaic liturgy or rites would be appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shigaon (talk • contribs) 18:51, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Deletion

I have deleted a section. [2] I prefer to deal with the subject in one place, rather than adding other views here for a balanced coverage. --Wadq (talk) 16:24, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Protestant Lectionaries

I came to this page looking for information on Anglican and Lutheran lectionaries, but found most of it about the Catholic one, which was quite interesting, but nonetheless felt that page could do with some text about Protestant lectionaries, if anyone has the information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChilternGiant (talk • contribs) 21:48, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Subsection on Narrative Lectionary

I'm a newbie and share the same employer as the faculty who developed this free lectionary. I'm still getting the hang of wiki editing and would appreciate any help or suggestions. Also, I found a recent dissertation at Emory University that makes use of the Narrative Lectionary and I'm not sure if I should link directly or reference under further reading.

Narrative Lectionary

The Narrative Lectionary is a four-year cycle of readings designed for preaching sermons that runs from the Sunday after Labor Day to the Day of Pentecost with texts that follow the sweep of the biblical story, from Creation through the early Christian church. The remainder of the year may consist of preaching series on biblical books or topics that fall outside the narrative cycle. The cycle is arranged in a narrative sequence to help people see the Bible as a story that has coherence and a dynamic movement:

• From September to mid-December the preaching texts begin with the early chapters of Genesis, move through the stories of Israel’s early history, the exodus, the kings, prophets, exile and return.
• From Christmas to Easter there is sustained reading of one of the four gospels
• From Easter to Pentecost the texts are chosen from Acts and Paul’s letters.
• From Pentecost to September, preachers are encouraged to create their own sermon series to address other topics or Bible passages.

The Liturgical Year helped to shape the flow of the Narrative Lectionary. Old Testament readings move through the story of God’s dealings with Israel and culminate in Advent with the prophets who speak of longing and hope. Readings from the gospels fit the movement from Christmas and Epiphany to the Transfiguration, Ash Wednesday, Holy Week and Easter. Selections from the book of Acts and Paul’s letters trace the outward movement of the resurrection message, culminating on Pentecost with readings focusing on the Holy Spirit.

The Narrative Lectionary was initiated by Profs. Rolf Jacobson and Craig Koester of Luther Seminary, in partnership with congregations across North America.  Akeck13 (talk) 01:23, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Are these changes to the text that you're proposing additions or deletions? If they're additions, where do you propose that the changes be placed?

Please advise.  Spintendo  ᔦᔭ  04:31, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

This new subsection is intended as an addition. I had intended it as a new 2.3 to follow the Three-Year cycle section. Alternatively (or eventually), it might be a subsection under a new subhead for Alternative Lectionaries. This would allow room to expand the other alternative lectionaries noted as well.

There is no information about the Amish lectionary which is much older than all the information supplied here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.70.119.115 (talk) 19:19, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Adjust "Current" from Year A to Year B

Just a quick note. In Section 2.2 there is bolding and text that indicate that the current lectionary year is Year-A. That was true up to the end of November. Now we have transitioned into Advent and the Year-B lectionary. As this will need to be adjusted every year in November, perhaps rewording or removal of Current is in order.

Note, this is my first edit, so I leave it to someone who is more familiar with the rules to make the actual change.
