Certificate Course: Imagine a New Way: Life Together Lectionary and Calendar
Course Description:
This program is designed for preachers, church leaders, students and anyone feeling the constraints of the RCL, COME IMAGINE A NEW WAY! We will focus on two facets of the church that are generally accepted uncritically as facts of life: the Revised Common Lectionary and the Church Calendar. Over time Dan’s work led him to question the effectiveness of these mismatched realities more and more, until he envisioned a new principle for planning worship and for presenting our faith and our congregational life to the world.
Dan tells the story of frustration turned into liberation as he created what he came to call the Life Together Lectionary and Calendar, which he has used successfully in diverse settings. Dan presents very practical advice on how to create your own customized lectionary and calendar to best serve the needs of your present congregation. Participants will experience story-telling, discussion and hands-on work.
