The Catholic Church does the exact same thing... EVERY Mass - although I think some non C's think that doesn't happen! We hear the entire NT every 3 years due to Scripture readings on Sundays. We can choose to follow along in the monthly booklet provided with the written Scripure.
BTW, thanks for the links on the Orthodox religion that I asked you for. Very informative and very interesting. Seems like the split between the C's and the O's could certainly have been averted - minor problems built up over the years, IMHO. Power struggles, mostly. So sad.
If I wasn't Catholic I would definately choose to be Orthodox.
