The One-Year Lectionary: Contemporary-Language Edition

This lectern-ready edition of the historic one-year lectionary of the Western church, supplemented with Old Testament Lessons for ease of use in contemporary services, is ideal for parishes seeking to enrich their worship with the Sunday and Holy Day readings of the ancient church. This edition is also highly suitable for study use by priests, students, and Bible study groups. The Collects, Epistles, and Gospels are those of the Canadian Book of Common Prayer (1962) of the Anglican Church of Canada, whose selections substantially follow the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and the ancient Sarum Missal. The Old Testament Lessons were carefully selected by a committee of the Prayer Book Society of Canada from 2021-2024, and reviewed by external scholars and priests. The readings are attractively and intuitively fomatted in large font, and were tested for legibility by seniors in parish contexts before publication. The cover has been designed to be dignified and plain, making it appropriate for processional use as a Gospel book. A number of blank pages have been provided in the centre to paste in the eucharistic rite used in your community, facilitating its use as a missal. The Lessons, Epistles, and Gospels are given according to the English Standard Version, the Collects are those of the Book of Common Prayer (and therefore in traditional language), and the Psalms are those of the American 1979 Book of Common Prayer and Canadian 1985 Book of Alternative Services. A traditional-language edition is also available through Amazon. The price has been set low to promote wide use of the one-year lectionary, since it is a goal of the Prayer Book Society to promote the Canadian 1962 Book of Common Prayer. Any additional profits support the Prayer Book Society of Canada, a registered Canadian charity. The Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing process sometimes, although rarely, results in misprints. Should this occur, we apologize. You can simply return the misprinted book for a refund through Amazon and order a new copy.
