The first Sunday of Advent falls on 29 November 2009. This marks the beginning of the 2009/2010 liturgical year. We move into a new lectionary cycle: Year C for Sundays, and Cycle II for weeksdays. You can find complete details of the Lectionary cycle at the excellent website of the Liturgy Office for England and Wales.
keep quoting these dead white guys for a reason. We seem to be repeating some particularly nasty history, right now.
