Subject: alternative scripture lesson for tomorrow’s lectionary?
BHrethren,
I know this is rather late in the asking, but any ideas for an alternative in the OT lesson for tomorrow? The BCP is using Ecclesiasticus.

The Revised Common Lectionary has Genesis 2:15–17; 3:1–7.

Thanks, Joel. Is the remainder of the lectionary the same as BCP? (Tomorrow is from Matthew 5 and 1 Cor 3.)

Which BCP are you using, btw?
The CofE 1662 BCP with the 1922 Revised Table of Lessons has Sirach, but gives Genesis 18 as an alternate. The US 1928 with the 1945 Revised Table also has Sirach, but gives Isaiah 58 as an alternative.

Heh. I don’t know. It says that it is “according to the use of the Episcopal Church,” and the edition was put together in 1990. It is published by Oxford University Press, and has a certificate inside:
“I certify that this edtion of The Book of Common Prayer has been compared with a certified copy of the Standard Book, as the Canon directs, and that it conforms thereto.” — Charles Mortimer Guilbert, Custodian of the Standard Book of Common Prayer, February, 1990

Actually, now that I look at this again, I think I will go with the Psalm reading — Psalm 71 fits pretty well with my sermon.
And yes, as you can see, I’m not following the entire lectionary. I’ve been using the OT and Epistles lessons, and lately I have been using the Gospels lessons for the law. (That’s obviously not always possible, but for the Sermon on the Mount it works.)

And the current US BCP (1979) has basically the same passage from Genesis 2 as the RCL:
Genesis 2:4b–9, 15–17, 25–3:7.
