Environmental Reflections
Holy Days and Feast Days
(Episcopal Standard Lectionary)
|
|
In 1996, starting with Lectionary Year B, the MEESC launched
a multi-year project to complete reflections and comments on
the earth-centered aspects of the Lectionary readings. Work
on filling the gaps for Holy Days will be undertaken each time
we approach specific Holy Days; however, input is accepted at
any time. If you would like to contribute, please see the directions
at the end of this page.
