New Altar Edition of the Divine Liturgies of the Synod is in Preparation

Over the weekend, the Synod of Saint Timothy made some modifications to the Western Rite format for the Divine Liturgy and adopted the Eastern Rite, in honor of Saint Titus, for provisional usage. In order to assist in providing this material to the clergy for local use, the Commission for Liturgy and Worship has begun two new documents, revised Altar Editions for both Western and Eastern Rite liturgies, together with supporting material (general use Eucharistic Prayers for the Western Rites, complete Anaphora for the Eastern Rites) that is needed at the Altar.

These documents should be ready sometime in June for download from the Synod's website.

It should also be noted that several individuals have volunteered to assist in compiling the propers into a managable format, and these will be avaliable in the months to come, both online and in printed form.

Those interested in participating more deeply in discussion on the Divine Liturgy and other Liturgical Matters of the Synod are welcome to join the Timothean Rite e-group on Yahoo! Groups. You will find a link on the Links page of www.christiansynod.org.
