A128 Concerning minor edits to Lesser Feasts and Fasts
Resolved, the House of ________________ concurring,
That the 81st General Convention authorizes the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music to make minor corrections to grammar, typos, and errors of fact in each edition of Lesser Feasts and Fasts, following Canon I.1.2.n.2.ix. Such minor corrections need not take the form of a General Convention resolution, but should be noted in the next edition of the Blue Book Report. Major revisions to bios, collects, or readings would continue to come before General Convention.
Explanation
Each year there are numerous small errors found within the entries in Lesser Feasts and Fasts, as well as suggestions for small tweaks to punctuation and grammar that would make the collects easier to read aloud. This resolution clarifies that minor changes of this nature could be made by the SCLM as part of the process of preparing each edition for publication, as long as they are reported back to the Church. Any substantive changes to the propers or bios would continue to come to General Convention in the form of resolutions.
