Talk:The Calendar of the Church Year

message: Over the next few days, I will be working to make sure that this article conforms with the Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America and the 2006 edition of Lesser Feasts and Fasts. Recent edits have led me to doubt that this calendar is still in accord with the use of the Episcopal Church. I think the lede should also clarify that the included calendar represents all officially listed observances and not just those that appear in the BoCP. TechBear (talk) 15:43, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: How many archangels are celebrated on 29 September is an example of differences between (English) Anglicanism and Episcopal Church USA usage.   I would note both. Bearian (talk) 14:08, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is the Episcopal Calendar, not the generic Anglican calendar.  There is no generic Anglican calendar.  The CofE calendar page has the CofE feasts, this has the Episcopal feasts.  What does make sense is the cross links that already exist. Tb (talk) 16:25, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conformance of this calendar with the Book of Common Prayer 

message: I've added a reference to the commemoration of Soren Kierkegaard in the Calendar of Saints of the Episcopal Church USA which is found at satucket.com/lectionary/Calendar.htm
While some calendars don't reference Kierkegaard this is due to additions approved at the ECUSA General Convention this year (Standing Commission on Liturgy & Music Report to the 76th GeneralConvention, 2009 --- online) LAWinans (talk) 04:33, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Adding to those Commemorated by the Calendar of Saints

message: I've just removed :Category:Anglican saints from Roger Williams because it's not clear to me that inclusion on the calendar = sainthood. The category description says "This category designates persons who are celebrated by the Anglican Communion as having lived a life of piety that were not canonized, as well as canonized saints with a practice similar to the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church." Now that I look at the category, I see a number of people for whom their inclusion on this list is non-defining and a sideline to their notability, essentially a case of overcategorization by award recipients. So, is there any meaningful distinction to draw between "canonized saint" and "pious but not canonized", such that we can remove the latter group? And if there is no meaningful distinction, do we need the category at all? –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 14:49, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Category talk pages are lower-traffic, so I'll leave this here, but add a link there. Thanks! –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 05:06, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Categorizing people as saints 

message: Should Ash Wednesday and Good Friday be removed from the category of 'feasts'?  First, because they are fast days and listed below as such (the word "feast" might be confusing) and second, the wiki article on (Anglican) feasts says that feastdays are 'obligatory'. These days are not obligatory anywhere else in the liturgical world, and I doubt they are such in Anglicanism --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 12:48, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I reworded the section title to "observances" to address your first point. I'm not sure about the second question. Do you have a link? Jonathunder (talk) 16:27, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  "feasts" 

message: I ran across an error for that date. The entry says "Dorothy Sayers", but the link goes to William Garrison. I was unable to discover what the entry should be. Zgystardst (talk) 07:22, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Zgystardst (talk) I have removed the link to William Lloyd Garrison + kept  Dorothy Sayers, happy to be corrected. --Devokewater (talk) 10:45, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  December 17 needs fixing. 

message: The name of this wikipage should be changed to Calendar of Saints (Episcopal Church), i.e. with a capital "S" for Saints. --Devokewater (talk) 10:50, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Change of name

message: The official title of the liturgical calendar, in both the Book of Common Prayer (1979) and the Lesser Feasts and Fasts (2006, 2018, 2022) is The Calendar of the Church Year.  The article title has been updated to reflect this, with notes about previous names for the liturgical calendar, i.e., The Calendar in the Book of Common Prayer (1928), noted in the article. --TrulyShruti talk • sign 13:01, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
