This isn't quite accurate. A (Lay) Reader can take worship services in the
absence of a minister. They can also take funerals. The only things they

Marriage.

scriptures/lessons for the worship service. This role is also referred to
as the 'Lector'. 'A lecturer who also took services' does not make sense to
