Liturgies

While we have some Lectionaries within Logos we seem to be sorely in need of at least some of the more common Liturgies. As a large portion of the Christendom considers the Liturgy almost as important as Scripture for the purposes of determining Doctrine it would seem to me to be vital to have some available within Logos. At a minimum the more important ancient liturgies, of which the Liturgy of St James is just one example, would be extremely useful for Academics and Laypersons alike.

Yes, more of both ancient and contemporary liturgies would be good:

The Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom (used today still by the Orthodox Church)
Book of Common Prayer (various editions) (Anglican, Episcopal)
Book of Occasional Services (Anglican, Episcopal)
Book of Common Worship (Presybyterian)
Lutheran Book of Worship
etc.

Ante Nicene Fathers Volume VII (available in the Early Church Fathers collections: both Protestant and Catholic editions) contains three of the ancient liturgies, including the Liturgy of St. James. Here's an excerpt from the TOC:

▼ Early Liturgies

Introductory Notice to the Early Liturgies

General Note by the American Editor

► The Divine Liturgy of James

► The Divine Liturgy of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Mark

► The Liturgy of the Blessed Apostles

Yes it does, but if we ask separately for the ancient liturgies we may get them in the original languages

"The Divine Liturgy of St. James", "The Divine Liturgy of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Mark" and "The Liturgy of the Blessed Apostles" can be found in vol 7 of The Antenicene Fathers.

I agree. There have been broad hints that the BCP will be offered shortly. I suspect that we need to think PBB in the short run. I have links to a number of resources that might give permission to go the PBB route.
