| A Report
to Our Readers:
Our commitment to the ecumenical and pastoral character of liturgical renewal and reform continues through the work of our journals Liturgy and Homily Service. Recent issues of Liturgy include an issue focused on assisting ministers (volume 22.4) and on "new and borrowed rites" (volume 23.1). With increased online access to our journals, we are beginning to explore several new possibilities including a "homiletic blog" or a podcast in conversation with Homily Service resources. Beginning with the December 2007 issue of Homily Service, production and development of Homily Service shifted from a monthly to quarterly/seasonal schedule, with issues for Advent-Epiphany, Lent-Pentecost, and two issues for Ordinary Time (after Pentecost) to better serve planning and preparation in the church. We invite your response to and reflection on all of these possibilities, with email to the board president E. Byron Anderson or to the Homily Service and Liturgy editor Sara Webb Phillips.

What
is Homily Service?
Homily Service is a
monthly resource for those who use and study the three-year Christian
lectionary. In addition to listing the readings in the Revised
Common Lectionary, Roman Lectionary for the Mass, and the Book
of Common Prayer Lectionary for each Sunday and feast day in the
church year, Homily Service provides:
- Studying the Lectionary: exegetical notes
on the readings from the three lectionaries.
- The Healing Word: reflections on the readings
as they relate to the liturgy, pastoral ministry, the life of
the Christian, and the mission of the Church.
- Ideas and Illustrations: literature, poetry,
music, media, liturgy, and insights that evoke the meanings
of the readings.
- Serving the Word: a sermon for preachers.
-
Welcoming the Word: questions that lead the preacher into the
readings.
