I write a response to the Lectionary most weeks and I'm starting to think ahead to the new year Mostly I read the RCL but in 2022 I did Rev. Wil Gafney's A Women’s Lectionary For The Whole Church. I might do that again, but I'm considering other options. Anyone know of interesting possibilities? ⚓

In #lectionary#stainedglass today, Paul defends himself before Festus (Acts 25 - I think it's this one because of the coded Jewish figure behind Paul) Glass in Lincoln Cathedral.

Stained glass panel of Saint Paul defending himself before Festus. In the foreground to the left Paul stands, facing the seated Festus on the left. Pauls arms are raised in rhetorical gesture, but his wrists are chained together. In the background behind Paul stands a figure in the dress of a Jewish priest, and behind Festus stands a Roman soldier with a spear.
