Subject: Re: [FaithandLife] Three Year Lectionary--question


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.
