Does anyone know how I can re-set my daily lectionary to the Book of Common Prayer 1929?
Welcome to the forums. You would first have to create a Personal Book for the lectionary. Logos only contains the 1979 lectionary for the BCP.
There is a copy available in the Book of Common Prayer collection, but not as a standalone copy. It is also part of the various Anglican packages.. I am not sure that it can be set as a lectionary type as it is listed as a monograph.
From the Description, The Book of Common Prayer, 1928:
The 1928 prayer book was the Protestant Episcopal Church’s third prayer book. This would be the last official prayer book that would solely retain the formal/traditional language similarly used by the Church of England’s Book of Common Prayer. Although the 1928 Book of Common Prayer was replaced with a newer edition, some churches still use it regularly or occasionally, despite the formal adoption of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer by the church.

Lectionary is a type in personal books so theoretically one should easily be able to convert the lectionary as posted at http://jedp.com/bible/lectionaries.html into a DOCX format to generate a book for Logos. I am not overly skilled at making personal books so I am not sure what needs to be done for it to work as a lectionary.

The basics for lectionaries are given at https://wiki.logos.com/Lectionary_and_Harmony_Support but it lacks the information on the index portion and on setting color ribbon.
I have never used a lectionary before and having them is Logos has always intrigued me. What are they, and how would I use one as an individual? What is the goal of a lectionary?
The article on Lectionary in Wikipedia is a good introduction.
It seems like the use of lectionaries goes together with liturgy/liturgical seasons, and it's neat the way that readings from the different liturgical seasons focus on different aspects of the Lord Jesus: the mystery of the Incarnation (Advent), His teaching/healing/proclamation of the Kingdom (Ordinary Time), His Passion/Crucifixion, and the need for our continuing conversion/repentence (Lent), and so on. It's beautiful to see the unity between the OT and NT in the readings for a given day. And finally, when interacting with other folks who are also reading the same lectionary, it's cool to be able to refer to "today's Old Testament reading (lection)" or "last Sunday's Gospel".
The lectionaries in Logos are super cool, and they dynamically pull in the text of the readings from whichever Bible translation you specify. You can drop down a little menu in the upper right-hand corner and read the lectionary in the Amplified Bible, a Spanish/French Bible, or whatever you prefer.
I have the 1929 edition in my library.
have you prioritized it? https://wiki.logos.com/Prioritizing
NOTE: I have no firsthand knowledge of lectionaries... From the discussion above, it sounds like the 1929 might not be tagged as a lectionary, but as a "monograph." In which case, I don't think you can do what you are wanting to do.
I am using the term "lectionary" in a technical sense of a Logos resource of type:lectionary. I believe this to be all the lectionaries provided by Logos:
You may have additional lectionaries in this sense, but only if you have compiled them as Personal Books through the PB tool.
Hi,
I ran across this thread and have a comment. I'm an Anglican priest in a Continuing Church that uses the 1928 Prayer Book. The lectionary currently used by most congregations is in the edition issued after 1943, when the lectionary was substantially revised. The original lectionary was deemed to be inadequate and not tied enough to the seasons of the church year. We use Year A and Year B, though there is a year C for at least part of the year. For us, the importance of the lectionary is that we observe Morning Prayer as a service and need to have an Old Testament and a New Testament lesson in that service. We also use the Holy Communion Service once each Sunday. I hope this is helpful.
