Faithlife could greatly expand the lectionaries they support without expanding the maintenance of resources. The usual approach is:
1. For each liturgical book - lectionary, missal, breviary ... - assign a liturgical date.
2. Note that Saint celebrations are normally linked to secular dates.
3. Assign liturgical dates to a secular calendar which is common for all church that assign Easter to the same date ... one simply has to resolve the differences in names one.
4. With this handful of secular calendars one can do from secular date to liturgical date to the liturgical texts.
5. Yes, there are modifications based on region, religious order, denomination - but Logos can choose to have the users make those adjustments or to take on that smaller amount of annual maintenance.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
