" In sacred celebrations there is to be more reading from
holy scripture,
and it is to be more varied and suitable."
"Bible services should be encouraged.
They are particularly to be commended in places where no priest is available;
when this is so, a deacon or some other person authorized by the bishop should
preside over the celebration"
Re more, not less, use of Scripture: see Reflection 83
Re "some other person"- lead Bible services: see
this report (some characters missing, I'm not sure why).

Re deacons: see No more permanent deacons ?
Jesus, please let there be more Scripture, not
less.
Please don't let small communities lose their places of worship (see
Cleveland
story)
