BCP Daily Office Lectionary Question

Hello, I am using the BCP Daily Office Lectionary for my daily readings because it seems to be the most complete and covers the Bible in two years rather than the RCL three. However, I am trying to figure out which passages have been omitted from the daily readings so that I can supplement. Some are obvious (they are noted as skipped verses in the daily readings), but others I might just overlook without even knowing they had been omitted.

I am wondering if there is any resource or list available of all passages omitted from the daily readings so that I can be sure to add them back in in order to cover every verse in the Bible. Does anyone know of such a list? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I believe 2 Chronicles is completely omitted… I know the gospels are fully covered each year as is most if not all the rest of the NT…. THis chart shows a general layout of the readings http://www.scribd.com/doc/62335998/Daily-Office-Lectionary-Chart 2 year lectionary.

Hmmm. That chart is potentially helpful. But seems there should be just a simple list somewhere in existence of all passages omitted. I am currently working to compile such a list but process of elimination is slow and tedious. If I found a list I could just skip that step.

I've looked for such charts for a number of lectionaries without much success. It's one reason I think Logos needs to offer an option to automatically highlight from a passage list or lectionary.

The 2 year Office of Readings (Catholic) would also serve your purpose, It, like the BCP, includes the deuterocanonicals.

If I may quote from a prayer book based on this Lectionary (For All the Saints, Vol. 4 - from American Lutheran Publicity Board - pg. xi)

"A Note about the Lectionary

"During the weeks of Pentecost 23 through Pentecost 25, the first reading in the Daily Lectionary for each day is from the book of Ecclesiasticus in the Apocrypha, with an alternate reading from one of the Old Testament Minor Prophets. Since a few other readings from Ecclesiasticus did appear earlier in the lectionary and these Minor Prophets appeared nowhere else, we have used the alternate first reading for these weeks. In this way all of hte canonical books of the Bible appear somewhere in For All the Saints except 1 Chronicles, which was never used even as an alternate reading in the lectionary, probably because it is a retelling of events already read in I & II Samuel and I Kings.

I have been looking for the same sort of list and am wondering if you ever found or compiled one?

Thank you!

I've been working on highlighting all the passages that are included in the RCL in my NRSV so I can see at a glance what is left out. I set up three highlighting styles, for Year A, Year B, and Year C, with the obvious shortcuts:

I can turn the Visual Filter on and off.

I haven't gotten very far, and it's been so long since I worked on it (March) that I've forgotten how far I got -- I forgot to leave a marker for myself to show myself where I was when I left off. Uggh!
