Hello Jeff: While I understand your question we need to be careful of our wordings because what somewords mean to us these words do not have the same meaning for other faiths. You referred to common lectionaries. To my understanding most Christian Churches do not have such books but this is tradition in the Catholic Church and within the Lectionaries are options with guidelines. So when presenting a question and trying to sound open to other faiths yes it is important to come across as exclusive and not judgmental; but we also need to be clear so as not to confuse others by stating what we know to be Catholic. We are not bragging that we have this but merely stating that we have this and every Catholic Church in the world is then on the same page. I don't mean to be critical but have a few protestant friends who would not understand your question. I hope I have not misunderstood your intent either since words misunderstood can lead a conversation in another direction and this is not my intent.

I think the simplest way I could rephrase it is, how does the imam decide what the subject of the sermon will be on Friday?Sorry man , I see nobody is replying you . I am also bit confused on what you really want to ask . Can you simply it . Thanks .
