Holy Week seems a good time to follow the Lectionary rather than to continue the thematic approach. I look forward to the day when our bishops demonstrate how to preach from the bible readings set by the Lectionary. My On the Way to Easter series on Resources for Christian Theology is my latest attempt. I am going to talk about preaching, lectionary and eucharist at Westminster Abbey’s Cheneygates Work-in-Progress seminar on April 24 at 12.30 (though the Abbey website gives no sign).
St Francis Episcopal Church San Jose offers an introduction to Lent and Easter. Did you know that ‘Maundy’ Thursday comes from mandatum novum, ‘a new commandment’ and Good Friday was originally ‘God’s Friday’? You can learn more about Lent, Easter and the lectionary from the excellent Ken Collins and from Textweek.
