 The calendar for the ELCA is similar to many other Western Calendars in that it does not commemorate any persons from the Old Testament.The calendars of the Orthodox Churches have Old Testament individuals, and the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod has done the same.At one point there was a proposal to include a day on the Episcopal Church calendar (which was taken into consideration by the Inter-Lutheran Commission on Worship in developing the "Lutheran Book of Worship") for Old Testament saints following the octave of All Saints (November 8), but this idea was ultimately rejected as tokenism.
