The Importance of Excellence in the Ministry of Lector

“In many churches, the highest demands for excellence and professionalism are put on the presiders, deacons, musicians, sacristans and greeters; but not enough on the lectors. You can have the most passionate and ambitious lector coordinator or liturgy director who'd love to raise the performance bar for the church's lectors, but without the support and comparable enthusiasm of the parish hierarchy, nothing ever happens.”

In a recent commentary, George Miller reflects on lectors and the importance of proper preparation for this ministry.
