I have often thought, however, that someone should compile a list of texts that aren't included in the Lectionary. Or perhaps some of us should get together and share texts we know are left out.

The question becomes, then, what do we do with the texts that the Lectionary overlooks?

As a computer person, I like to cut and paste from Vanderbilt university's online site http://lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu/ to get the list as well as the actual citations for our readers on Sunday morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288277791026557226.post-55304842842727978422010-02-08T08:34:20.456-05:002010-02-08T08:34:20.456-05:00Over and over I hear that the psalms are to be sun...Over and over I hear that the psalms are to be sung. The hymnal contains a few; some use obscure or unsingable tunes, some (Gelineau 23) work with solo plus congregation on the refrain, others are familiar hymns. <br />Any other suggestions for singing the psalms? Here, on most Sundays, the congregation sings the refrain as indicated in the Book of Common Worship and alternates reciting the text Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
