Bless you Charles, I couldn't agree with you more.  We are not using  the new 
Common three year lectionary which is full of political  correctness.  We are 
using a continuing Church form that is sound and gives  our people more 
exposure to sacred Scripture.  Let's face it brothers, our  people are not for the 
most part doing Morning and Evening Prayer.  They  are getting their exposure 
to the Bible on Sundays or during weekday Bible  studies.  If your people are 
anything like mine, even though I am the chief  cheerleader for Bible studies 
and the daily offices, I get little  response.  I practically beat them over 
the head about coming to the midday  Ascension Eucharist and had only six show 
up.  This was after people had  said to me, "Father, we don't feel comfortable 
driving at night, if you have one  at noon, we will come."  Well, I did, and 
they didn't.  Then I  reminded them last Sunday about what they told me and 
nobody responded at  all.  So, I think the three year lectionary as we have it 
in the APA is  wonderful and has been accepted well here.  I also love the new 
ESV and  frankly I like the new KJV as well.
