Article Excerpt:
Many contemporary Western Christians would probably be similarly disconcerted by what the Orthodox theologian Father Georges Florovsky speaks of as “an ecumenism in time.”  The implications for the lectionary debate here are self-evident: do we read the same passages and juxtapositions of scripture upon which the Fathers of the Church and generations of subsequent homilists have preached, or do we join with contemporary Christians in a new common system of readings from Scripture? Do we align ourselves in a horizontal ecumenism with our Christian neighbours or a vertical ecumenism with those who have gone before us marked with the sign of Faith?
