Environmental Reflections
Lectionary Year C Standard (Episcopal) 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 Standard (Episcopal)
Lectionary readings. Major work on filling the gaps in this
page will be undertaken each time we are in Year C; however,
input is accepted at any time.
Starting in 2006 with Lectionary Year C, the MEESC
began providing reflections and comments on the earth-centered
aspects of the Revised
Common Lectionary Readings.
If you would like to contribute, please see the
directions at the end of this page.
Linked to the Sundays and Holy Days are available
commentaries, sermons, and thoughts pertaining to the readings
selected for that day that we have received. If you would like
to scroll to various seasons of the liturgical year, please
