The BCP Propers Podcast returns with the new Church Year. This episode begins Advent. Pastor Steven Wedgeworth discusses the history of Advent and the ways that the 1662 BCP lectionary differs from modern ones. Then he moves to a discussion of the Proper Scripture lessons. This week's Epistle is Romans 13. The Gospel is Matthew 21, the Triumphal Entry and judgment on the temple. The Old Testament "First Lessons" begin the survey of Isaiah, starting with chapters 1 and 2. Each lesson complements the other to introduce the message of the season of Advent.
