Your observation regarding local lay invo...Hi Mark,<br />Your observation regarding local lay involvement in freshly crafted POP's is correct in my observations. But I would add the caveat that I know of parishes where parish liturgy/worship committees do this on a weekly and seasonal basis. I know more directly of many parish clergy who craft the weekly POP's themselves based on their pastoral relationship with their congregations. I think that there is room for both.<br />However, your initial observation on the BCP's provision of fixed forms as a provisional substitute for the absence of more creative and timely local POP's is spot on. <br />The proliferation of published 3 year cycle POP's at least based on the lectionary themes and current events, is a happy interim step towards localized POP's and in my liturgical observations are widely used.<br />Thanks for reminding once again of the original intention and goal of the BCP directives which admittedly offer a tedious set of POPs as an all too easy out for many-most clergy.<br />Pax, Bob McCloskeyBob McCloskeynoreply@blogger.com
