Y UNDERSTANDING is that one of our valued contributors, Richard Clark, will soon be posting information about the rejected 1998 Sacramentary. I don’t know very much about the 1998 translation, and I’m looking forward to reading what he’s able to find out.

Perhaps we can ask her to give a phone interview, telling us what she remembers.
