The Bible at St. Edmund’s

The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) - Anglicised Edition, with Apocrypha,
is used in public worship and encouraged for private use.
Copies of this version are available for use in the Church and the Lady Chapel.

Printed copies of each Sunday’s readings and notes on those readings
are distributed to the Sunday congregations.

The Book of Gospels is carried in procession into Church and laid on the Altar at Parish Communion.

The Book is then carried in procession to the congregation for the Gospel Reading,
with lighted candles and incense in attendance.

The Book is censed before the Gospel is read.
This identifies and celebrates the great reverence and significance
accorded to the Biblical Word of God as one of the 2 high points of the Mass,
the other being the celebration and reception of Holy Communion.

Details of weekday readings at Morning and Evening Prayer are published each week.

A monthly Bible Reading and Prayer cycle leaflet is published,
including comment on the weekday readings
and a prayer intention for each day.

Occasional Bible Bulletins are published - these contain more in-depth comment
about particular Sunday readings and reinforce a sustained message
on how to approach and use the Bible.

There are a few Bible-specific "Questions of Faith" leaflets :

No. 26 The Use of the Bible

No. 27 Bible Readings for Travellers

No. 35 Bible Meditations in Times of Difficulty
