In this Kitchen Table Talk episode, Sarah, Erin, and Rachel welcome the Rev. Dr. Carl Fickenscher for a friendly and informative conversation all about the church year.

What is the church year? Where did our liturgical calendar come from? How do the lectionary, seasons, and festivals of the church year all work together to proclaim Christ and strengthen faith? What’s the difference between the one-year and three-year lectionaries? How does the church calendar intersect with, diverge from, and transcend the secular calendar?

The Rev. Dr. Carl Fickenscher is professor of pastoral ministry and missions at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. He is also the author of Looking Forward to Sunday Morning: Reflections on the Church Year (new from CPH) and guest of the weekly “Looking Forward to Sunday Morning” series on Issues, Etc .
