Holy Women, Holy Men: Celebrating the Saints

Holy Women, Holy Men: Celebrating the Saints
- Used Book in Good Condition
Fully revised and expanded, this new work is the first major revision of the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church in more than 40 years!

It is the official revision of Lesser Feasts and Fasts and authorized by the 2009 General Convention. All commemorations in Lesser Feasts and Fasts have been retained, and many new ones added. Three scripture readings (instead of current two) are provided for all minor holy days. Additional new material includes a votive mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary, many more ecumenical commemorations, plus a proper for space exploration.

For years the oft revised volume, Lesser Feasts and Fasts (LFF), has served parishes and individuals mark part of the holiness of each day by providing Scripture readings, a collect, a Eucharistic preface, and a narrative about those remembered on the churchâ€™s calendar that day whose lives have witnessed to the grace of God.Â Holy Women, Holy Men (HWHM) is a major effort to revise, but also to expand and enrich LFF.Â Where LFF provided two readings (gospel and other New Testament) plus a psalm, HWHM adds an Old Testament citation.Â Where LFF was limited to few non-Anglicans in the post-reformation period (and few non-Episcopalians after 1789), HWHM dramatically broadens appreciation for other Christians and their traditions.Â Over-emphasis on clergy is redressed by additional laity, males by females, and â€œin-churchâ€ activities by contributions well beyond the workings of institutional agendas.Â
These almost daily commemorations occupy over 600 of the bookâ€™s 785 pages, by far the lionâ€™s share of its content.Â Remaining sections address: principles of revision and guides for future revision; liturgical propers for seasons (Advent/Christmas, Lent, and Easter); and new propers for a miscellany of propers usable with individuals (or events) not officially listed in the formal calendar.Â Two cycles of propers for daily Eucharist are also included, one covering a six week period, the other a two year cycle.Â
