Kingdomtide

Liturgical seasons

Kingdomtide or the Kingdom Season is a liturgical season observed in the autumn by some Anglican and Protestant denominations of Christianity.[1] The season of Kingdomtide was initially promoted in America in the late 1930s, particularly when in 1937 the US Federal Council of Churches recommended that the entirety of the summer calendar between Pentecost and Advent be named Kingdomtide.[2] In practice, most denominations that have adopted the Kingdom Season have restricted it to the later autumnal part of Ordinary Time.
