Over the last year, I've been attending services at The Church of the Redeemer<\/a> in Pittsburgh and more recently, at St. Mark's Episcopal Church<\/a> in Berkeley.\u00c2\u00a0 I have found\u00c2\u00a0 much needed refreshment in the worship services, leavened as they are with the\u00c2\u00a0 solemn beauty of written and spoken word, from the Bible and from the Book of Common Prayer.\u00c2\u00a0 The scriptural readings are scheduled according to a lectionary (the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL), I believe though I'm still a tad confused on these matters<\/a>.) As a practical matter, this means that I have a ready-made schedule of texts to study:\u00c2\u00a0 either to look ahead (so I can prepare this coming Sunday) or to review (so that I can reflect on what we meditated on last Sunday).<\/p>\n

Happily, I have found online sources for the Sunday lectionary readings, including:<\/p>\n

\n
• Epiphany 3, Year C, RCL<\/a> (previous Sunday) and Epiphany 4, Year C, RCL<\/a> (coming Sunday) via Liturgical Calendar for 2010<\/a><\/li>\n
• Year C - Epiphany - Third Sunday after the Epiphany : Revised Common Lectionary<\/a> (previous Sunday) and Year C - Epiphany - Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany : Revised Common Lectionary<\/a> (coming Sunday)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Ultimately, I'd like to find sources of daily readings too. In the past, I've overreached in my Bible reading ambitions.\u00c2\u00a0 Now I plan to start with the Sunday readings but then add daily readings as I get more regular and proficient in my Bible reflections.\u00c2\u00a0 So when I'm ready, I should take a look at Book of Common Prayer Daily Office Lectionary (ESV Bible Online)<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 I took a quick glance at Reading Plans - YouVersion.com<\/a>, hoping to find lectionaries tied to this online Bible and community. I'll want to figure out how the Episcopal order of reading relates to that of the PCUSA for which I can get daily readings provided by the PCUSA<\/a> (e.g., today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s reading is\u00c2\u00a0 PC(USA) - Devotions - Daily readings for Friday, January\u00c2\u00a029, 2010<\/a>)<\/p>\n

  P.S. A post on the lectionary won't be complete for me if I don't mention how I can ultimately geek out on it. The Lectionary<\/a> points to a spreadsheet<\/a> that \"has the RCL, Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, and Methodist lectionaries keyed to Bible passages.\"\u00c2\u00a0 With this key, I'll be able to computationally generate multi-denominational Bible readings for different days in different forms.\u00c2\u00a0 Lectionary mashups, here we come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
