Lectionary: Christian Methodist Episcopal Book of Ritual
- Source:
Book of Ritual (New and Revised)
Christian Methodist Episcopal (CME)
- Versification:
King James
- Sponsor:
Christian Methodist Episcopal Church
- Calendar:
These are all votive services.
- Copyright:
copyright date not given; published 1995
- Notes:
- This
is included as an example of votive services i.e. when an occasion arises
rather than a fixed date. Votive services are present in the Lutheran and
Catholic traditions although Logos has not included them in the current
base lectionaries.
- While
the majority of the texts are KJV, there are a few cases in which another
translation is specified. This is the characteristic for which I chose
this lectionary
- The Book of Ritual is inconsistent in
the naming of sections; this inconsistency is reflected in this table. In
addition, there are a number of Scriptures for which no citations are
given. Unless they are explicitly labeled “scripture” these have not be
included in the tables. Allowance for the easy update as I obtain more
information is desirable.
Lectionary: Christian Methodist Episcopal Responsive
Readings
- Source:
http://www.godonthe.net/responsive-readings/
- Versification:
King James
- Sponsor:
Christian Methodist Episcopal Church
- Calendar:
no assigned dates
- Copyright:
2000
- Notes:
- The
Hymnal of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church has the responsive
readings but not the citations. The citations come from the website.
- Generally,
responsive readings would not the considered a lectionary. However, in
the early Methodist tradition, responsive readings were used as a Lesson
and included in the lectionaries. You will see this in the Methodist
lectionaries which should be sent soon.
- The
two loosely related CME resources represent a single tradition much as
the set of 3 lectionaries did for the Moravians or the long list of lectionaries
for Lutherans or Anglicans.

assume 2007-2008
- Notes:
These are two lectionaries for non-Scriptural readings that link nicely to
Schaff’s Early Church Fathers. They are included to raise the issue of
Early Church Fathers as the appear in the Office of Readings (beside
Scriptural readings) or as John Climacus appears in the Orthodox monastic
tradition.
