A great overview to the church calendar

The Church has been the recipient of Christ’s redemptive work in history and is itself part of that redemptive history.  Every Sunday the story of Redemption is reenacted an proclaimed in Word and Sacrament.  But did you know that every year the Story of Redemption is told through the Church Calendar.

That’s what the Christian seasons are all about. From Christmas to Easter and back again, the Church calendar is a reenactment of the redemptive narrative that God spoke in the person of Jesus Christ in which we participate today. Fr. Bob Corley, Curate at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Dallas, has written a short article on the Church Calendar that I think you might find informative and helpful.

It’s not original with me. It comes from the St. John’s website.

Hi, Thanks for the calendar.

Can you direct me to a source for understanding the Anglican church calendar? I would like to follow the Book of Prayer (American Anglican Church) and have no background to begin to use it. I would like to use it for my daily prayers.

Thanks!

Oops, I meant to say The Book of Common Prayer (obviously written by a non-Anglican/Episcopalian).

Thanks
