"Conduct of a liturgical service" would not have been included in my first definition of rubric. Rubric seems evil when you break down the meaning. I may never use a rubric again.
Thanks for the definition Ray. I don't see "scoring guide" anywhere, though. Oh well.
Hey Ray,
Just to let you know, you can always access the OED for free by logging into our library, and clicking on "dictionaries". It will bring up all the dictionaries available, and the OED is the fourth or fifth one down the page. Click on it, and it should let you right in, or you'll just need to sign in with your student ID and password--the same one you use for school. Hope this helps!
