Passage guide

MJ. Smith

I would like a new section in the passage guide titled "Lectionaries" which scans the lectionaries (prioritized) for occurrences of the passage. Finer points:

• I am aware that many people would want to turn the section off. Therefore, I would suggest that the default be off.
• Those interested in the lectionary probably fall into 3 categories:
  • those interested only in the current lectionary of their tradition
  • those interested only in lectionaries within their tradition - current and historical
  • those interested in lectionaries across denominations and time
  Therefore, the contents of the lectionary section needs to be customizable either through prioritization or collections
• There are some graphic displays of the information which could be useful but these are appropriately deferred until lectionary issues as a whole are addressed. They are bonuses not required features.
• Yes, I have thought in through in terms of the larger picture. It is a non-disruptive portion of lectionary support which should be able to be implemented easily as it basically reuse of existing code.

a BIG +1 from me.

I would fall under category #3 and I think it would be fascinating as I study scripture to have a way to see where in the liturgical year the passage falls across traditions.
