Request: Non-contiguous passage ranges for Passage Guide

Rosie Perera

I sometimes preach from the lectionary, and the lectionary texts are often non-contiguous passages. It would be extremely helpful to be able to enter a non-contiguous range such as Genesis 17:1–7, 15–16 into a Passage Guide, and have it work only on the verses mentioned, not the ones skipped in between. Yes, I know the workaround for now is just to give it the full range (e.g., Gen 17:1-16) but it would be nice to be able to be more specific for collection searches and the word-by-word section, and other sections as well.

The other work around is to run two guides one for Gen 17:1-7 and the other for vv. 15-16.

I would agree that it would be nice to be able to do non-continguous searches in the guides.
