• Sunday Hymns of the Byzantine Lectionary (draft)
  We have received several requests for a collection of the hymns that Professor Thompson wrote for the Sundays of the year, based on the lectionary readings of each Sunday. Other parishes have requested versions of the Sunday propers that omit these hymns. We hope to meet both these needs by presenting this volume, which contains all the lectionary hymns for the liturgical year, in the same page size as the MCI propers leaflets, so that they can be added to the propers as desired.
