The Lectionary

"In the Episcopal Church, as in many other liturgical churches, readings from the Scriptures are taken from a lectionary-a list that divides the Bible into selected passages to be read over a specific period of time (in most cases, three years). We have two lectionaries in our Prayer Book: a Daily Office Lectionary that provides selections for Morning and Evening Prayer and a Lectionary for Sundays. The Sunday lectionary also includes readings (called Propers) for holy days, saints' days, various occasions (such as a church convention), and specific topics (such as social justice or education). The overall purpose of both lectionaries is to give Episcopalians a broad exposure to a large portion of the Bible over the course of two or three years, rather than limiting these readings to just the passages that are most appealing to us, or that simply reinforce perhaps inadequate understandings of our faith we nonetheless find comforting."
