Navigating the Ancient Christian Devotional


Michael Hunt

Recommended Posts

A while ago I purchased the Ancient Christian Devotional for use with Accordance on my Mac. It has been a great resource and I love the fact that the Daily Reading button is able to take me to exactly the right spot given that the readings span a week and vary from year to year according to the lectionary cycle (well done Accordance).

 

Recently I loaded it up on my iPad Air 2 and discovered that the same functionality isn't present in iOS. No real problem except there is also no easy way to navigate through the the reading except through scrolling (i.e. there is no hyper linkable table of contents).

 

I'm just wondering given that iOS is still a work in progress if their are plans to support the Ancient Christian Devotional on iOS like Spurgeons Faith's Checkbook, or would it be possible to have a table of continents enabled like in the Mac version.

 

P.S. I found what looks like a typographical error in the recent weeks readings where the following opening prayer was hyperlinked and not just the citation (in this case 'The Gallican Sacramentally')

 

OPENING PRAYER: Proper 11

Abba, Father, fulfill the office of your name toward your servants: do you govern, protect, preserve, sanctify, guide and console us. Let us be so enkindled with love for you, that we may not be despised by you, O most merciful Lord, most tender Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen. The Gallican Sacramentary

Every devotional module installed in the mobile app should also appear in the General Tools section of the Library view. Opening it from that section of the library should allow you to display the table of contents for the module and navigate to the desired location from that view.

Thanks Scott. That works great.

Please use the Report a Correction feature to let us know of such errors, rather than posting on the forum. Julie and Mark log and correct all of them and update the modules regularly.

 

I did report this for you, as well as some similar instances.

I do try to report the errors when i find them but that lack of a report system on the iPad means errors i find often do not get reported because i forget about them...

Hi Helen,

 

Further reading of the forums after I posted the above pointed me to the "Report a Correction" menu option in Accordance which I will use in the future.
