A new edition of the Lectionary will come into use in England and Wales on the First Sunday of Advent, 1 December. To prepare for Advent, it will be helpful for ministers to explore and become familiar with what is ‘new’ in the new edition - for example, the translation and layout, and also consider some of the Lectionary’s less familiar resources that can help with the more effective ministry of the Word in our parishes, schools and other communities.
A (free!) refresher programme for readers is being offered online in two sessions from 3 - 4 pm on Sunday 13 and Sunday 20 October. It is limited to 40 participants. The first session focuses on ministry and the Word and the second focuses on the Lectionary itself and strategies to promote Scripture in parish life.
The course is led by Fr Allen Morris, former Secretary to the Bishops’ Conference Department for Christian Life and Worship. To book email fr.allen.morris@rcaob.org.uk
