Book Description
The Lectern edition of the Revised Common Lectionary Episcopal Edition contains all of the readings (Lesson, Response, Epistle, and Gospel) for the Sundays in Years A, B, and C as well as for the Holy Days and Special Occasions of the church year. Included are the contemporary version of the Collects of the Day found in the Book of Common Prayer. In addition, the texts for the Response (Psalm or Canticle) are taken, whenever possible, from the Book of Common Prayer. The book is burgundy red with gold-foil embossing on the front cover and spine. This beautiful volume seeks to fulfill the rubrical desire that the lessons be read from a book ¿of appropriate size and dignity¿ (BCP, 406). The interior pages are an easy-to-turn, heavyweight, ivory paper with gold edges. The print is crisp, clean, and large enough to read easily from the lectern. A red ribbon marker makes it easy to find your place.
