NB: This is the archive of all known recordings of the sermons Father Pritchartt preached while 12th Rector of the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation, Dallas, Texas from 1974 until 1992. No official catalogue was preserved. The sermons are not listed here in the exact order they were preached. Also, at the time of these earliest recordings (Good Friday 1977 and the following summer), the Incarnation was phasing in a new lectionary to be used in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. Wherever possible, we have tried to link the sermon to the appropriate propers that were in use, and only if Fr Pritchartt mentions a particular collect or text in his sermon. However, not every link will be that particular Sunday's appointed lectionary text but, rather, another text referenced in Father Pritchartt's sermon. While some of the sermons listed in this index are in a peculiar order, it is our hope to eventually rearrange this index into the format of the current liturgical calendar, whereby you may access a sermon if we have a recording for that particular Sunday in the liturgical year. This is currently a work in progress, as we listen to the archive and try to detect - from the propers Father Pritchartt cites - which Sunday to associate with a particular recording. Check back regularly.
