In both Lutheran and Episcopal calendars distinction is made between festivals of the Apostles and Evangelists and Mary, the Mother of Our Lord, and the commemorations which include such pre-reformation catholic saints as Augustine of Hippo, Anselm of Canterbury, and Irenaeus of Lyons. The more recent centuries tend to have commemorations unique to each denomination: Episcopalians remember Cranmer and Hooker while Lutheran s remember Melanchthon and Buggenhagen.
You can find a very good month-by-month composite calendar of most of the Lutheran and Episcopal commemorations at www.missionstclare.com
As for the process of adding new commemorations, this generally comes through a committee (partially elected, partially appointed) which reports to the national governing assembly. Large revisions do not occur until a new worship book is published. In the case of the LCMS, that book will be available next year. In the case of the ELCA, preview materials will be available by spring and the final book next fall.
Thank you for the info.
I saw a Methodist church a few weeks back called Saint something or other. I wish I could recall the name. But I was suprised they would honor a Catholic (originally) Saint.
