Church of Ireland Publishing Produces 2008/09 Lectionary
Sunday and Weekday Readings 2009, a helpful 60-page booklet setting out clearly all the provisions for bible reading in church from Advent Sunday 2008 to the eve of Advent Sunday 2009, has just been published by Church of Ireland Publishing. In its third year of publication, it has been found highly convenient for lecterns and valuable for personal use at home alongside a bible. For those who want a one-reading programme one of the readings set for weekday Holy Communion is printed in italics.
Brian Mayne, who has provided the lectionary material for the Church of Ireland Gazette for the past fifteen years, is the compiler of the booklet. He comments, ‘Tables of readings may seem at first glance a bit like bus time-tables but are in fact a simple and practical asset. When used, they help readers and congregations to hear or read scripture effectively along with other members of the Church throughout the land.’
The price of the lectionary is unchanged from 2008, costing £3 in Northern Ireland and €4 in the Republic of Ireland. Copies are available from the Good Bookshop, Donegall Street, Belfast and the Resource Centre, Holy Trinity, Rathmines, Dublin. Enquiries may also be made to the Revd Brian Mayne on T. 028-4461 2521 or Email: editor.bcp@ireland.anglican.org.
