Notes
1.
Creation Time was initiated by some Orthodox Churches and is
promoted by the European Christian Environment Network. The aim
is to bring this major theological theme into the liturgical
calendar.
2. It is
recommended that Creation Time be celebrated in September and
early October.
3. The
readings for the third week of this lectionary are those for
Harvest Thanksgiving in the C of E Common Worship Lectionary.
The readings for the fifth week might be suitable for marking
One World Week.
4. This
lectionary was produced for use in the parishes of Pilton,
Croscombe, North Wootton and Dinder in the Diocese of Bath and
Wells. It is not an authorised lectionary of the Church of
England.
5. In
these parishes the lectionary was first used in 2007 (Year C) in
late September and early October, a time which included Harvest
Thanksgiving in four churches on three different Sundays. The
readings were used as above, regardless of whether or not it was
Harvest Thanksgiving at that particular church, with every
church in the group using the same readings every Sunday. That
worked well for congregations, worship leaders and preachers.
