Does the Smyth & Helwys adult curriculum follow the Revised Common Lectionary?
The Lectionary is specifically designed for worship planning. Curriculum planners, however, usually organize units of study. When applying the Lectionary readings to this approach, we find that units tend to be forced and don’t hold together well. As a worship-planning tool, the Lectionary brings discipline and balance to worship, while still reflecting the seasons of the Christian year. We believe that it’s just as important for the learning setting to have the right tool for providing balance, discipline, and breadth over time. Our Formations line is highly popular with classes seeking a curriculum that possesses many of the Lectionary’s benefits but is specifically designed for an educational setting rather than a worship context.
