Liturgical Book Puns

Slava Isusu Christu!

I wanted to ask, if anyone could direct me to some good and highly readable greek font for liturgical books (or some prayer brouches). I have one for latin alphabet and cyrilics (both Monomakh Unicode from Ponomar project), but I lack one for greek texts. I would prefer something free, and opensource -as I would like to combine it to one font, so it is easier for print service to work with it. If it would fit style of Monomakh, it would be great - so something bolder and with larger spaces between letters. I thought about something like in this Ieratikon but it can be different.

Thanks for your help.

I'm taking over as director of music at my church. What should I make sure I have?

I'm in Canada, and I want to find chant settings for the Sunday psalms that use the same translation as the lectionary. Any you can point me toward?

What do you want from your music director in general? What do you not want? I realise this varies somewhat from person to person and I am communicating with my pastor. That's part of my question - what are the kinds of questions you wish your DoM would ask you? What do you wish he would stop asking you?

Hi, do any of you got the khudra and other liturgical books in pdf ?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Does anyone have any recommendations for detailed books on the Catholic liturgical reforms of the 60s/Vatican 2 period? I'm looking for something with objective observations on these developments, as well as the rationales (historical and otherwise) the reformers had when guiding these changes. I'm not looking for traditionalist polemics (read enough of that to last a lifetime). Big plus if written by non-Catholic scholars, but no biggie if not. Thanks!

Welcome everyone to this Evergreen quick read of H. G. Wells' The Invisible Man, and thanks for joining. The marginalia can be found here. As alway I will summarise the section and there will be discussion prompts in the comments for you to answer if you chose, but please also add your own questions, insights and other thoughts.

The next check-in discussion will go up on Saturday January 8th covering chapters In the Coach and Horses through At the House in Great Portland Street.

SUMMARY

• The Strange Man's Arrival - A strange bandaged man turns up at the Coach and Horses. He will not share with Mrs. Hall the story of his "accident".
• Mr. Teddy Henfrey's First Impressions - The stranger is unhappy about Teddy disturbing his privacy to fix the clock. He is an experimental investigator and needs the apparatus in his baggage ASAP. Teddy meets Mr. Hall and sows the seed of suspicion about the stranger.
• A Thousand and One Bottles - The strangers baggage is delivered by Fearenside whose dog attacks biting the strangers hand and leg. He insists it was nothing, and unpacks crates of bottles. He wishes to experiment in privacy locking the door and stating any damage should be added to his bill. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hall catch strange glimpses of the strangers uncovered body. -  Mr. Cuss Interviews the Stranger - Two months pass and locals gossip about the stranger being a criminal  a lunatic, or even an Anarcist naming him The Bogey Man. Mr. Cuss the GP visits the stranger using the Nurse's fund as an excuse. He sees an empty sleeve but feels an arm. He goes immediately to Mr. Bunting the vicar to relay his meeting.
• The Burglary at the Vicarage - At 4am Mrs. Bunting awoke to the sound of someone in the house. She woke Mr. Bunting. They hear someone at his study desk find money, and see a match struck to light the candle, but nobody was anywhere in the room. They followed the sound of a sneeze and the unlocking of the kitchen door, but still didn't see anyone.
• The Furniture that Went Mad - Mr. Hall discovers the absence of the stranger early one morning. All his clothes remain in his room. Mrs. Hall also investigates. Suddenly clothes and furniture begin flying chasing the Halls out of the room. Mr. Sandy Wadgers, Mr. Huxter and M

Richard T. France, in Matthew: Evangelist, pp50-2, writes:

> In the earliest texts available in Greek or in translation each of the gospels regularly carries a heading ‘The Gospel according to Matthew/Mark etc.’ There is no evidence for any of the gospels ever existing without such a heading. Nor is there any variation in the names of those to whom they are attributed. ... New Testament scholarship has generally discounted these headings for the purpose of determining the authorship of the gospels. > > ... > > A recent carefully-documented attack on these scholarly assumptions has come from M. Hengel. He considers the nature of references to the gospels in second-century Christian literature, and the general practice of book-distribution in the Greek world, where titles were necessary for identification of a work to which reference might be made. He recalls Tertullian’s criticism of Marcion for publishing his ‘Gospel’ (his expurgated version of Luke) without the author’s name, since no credence should be given to a book ‘which does not hold its head up straight…and which makes no promise of reliability by the fulness of its title and the due acknowledgement of its author.’ He points out that when Christian writings began to be circulated, and especially to be used for reading in worship, titles with the name of the author would be needed to distinguish one from another as soon as a community possessed more than one such book (‘as was certainly already the case round about 100’); indeed he argues that Christian ‘community libraries’ (for which presumably some handy method of identification of books would be essential) would already be in existence early in the second century. ‘The titles were necessary for arranging the Gospels in community libraries and for liturgical reading. This is the only explanation for their great age and the complete unanimity in them towards the end of the second century.’ > > ... > > Hengel’s argument contains a number of statements as to what ‘must have been’ the case in the early Christian communities, and is open to challenge from those who propose another model. But his reconstruction is based on an extensive survey of the wider world of books and reading habits in the first century. If the theory of the anonymous circulation of gospels for a generation or two is to be established over against Hengel’s model, it must be supported by an equally careful demonstration that such a proce

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Catholic Bible - 73 books

Protestant Bible - 66 books

I picked up a tablet on Black Friday, mainly for use as an e-reader but I'm wondering what resources you all suggest having loaded on it for use at church.

So far, I have:

• BCP
• Hymnal
• NRSV Bible

Any other good recommendations?

I am a good non-denominational Charismatic pastor guy. In the tradition I come from, if it was written more than a week ago it is old dead religion. (not really but you get it)

I have been praying the daily office off and on for a year or so and have been looking into the lectionary. But here are a few questions, please be gentle.

1. Is there more than one lectionary? I looked up the scriptures for this sunday out of curiosity and found more than one list. Whats up with that?

2. Anyone have any experience going from the free world (where you just wing it eternally) into a Christianity that uses the lectionary?

3. Is there more one book of common prayer? If so how do you choose?

4. If you are open to chatting on this hit me up in the chat thingy. I got questions.

I recently bought A Book of Pagan Prayer hoping to find some beautiful chants to add to my ritual repertoire, but I was disappointed. I see it has hundreds of positive reviews on there, so it obviously has its fans, but I found the poetry to be bland, all-over-the-place, lyrically flat, and cringe. I don't want to contest its artistic merits here, nor am I trying to use this as a platform to discourage others from buying it or to bully its authors and fans. I'm mentioning it only as a reference. My request, then, is whether anyone can suggest some better resources for Celtic liturgical literature?

Cheers.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
