A Women's Lectionary for the Whole Church: Years W & A

These wonderful lectionary preaching resources by womanist biblical scholar Wilda C. Gafney would be great to have in Logos. The readings are selected to focus on women's stories in scripture. The texts for each Sunday are a translation by the author, followed by brief notes on the text and preaching prompts. Year W is a standalone resource that covers all four gospels in a year. Year A is the first of a three-year cycle (Year B and C are forthcoming) that focuses on the gospel of Matthew along with readings from John.

What does it look like to tell the good news through the stories of women who are often on the margins of scripture and often set up to represent bad news? How would a lectionary centering women’s stories, chosen with womanist and feminist commitments in mind, frame the presentation of the scriptures for proclamation and teaching? The scriptures are androcentric, male-focused, as is the lectionary that is dependent upon them. As a result, many congregants know only the biblical men's stories told in the Sunday lectionary read in their churches. A more expansive, more inclusive lectionary will remedy that by introducing readers and hearers of scripture to “women's stories” in the scriptures. A Women’s Lectionary for the Whole Church, when completed, will be a three-year lectionary accompanied by a stand-alone single year lectionary, Year W, that covers all four gospels. Year A features the Gospel of Matthew with John interwoven as is the case in the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) and Episcopal Lectionary.
