The Lectionary (1969, revised 1981) developed&nbsp;by the Roman Catholic Church after Vatican II provided for a&nbsp;three-year cycle of Sunday readings. This Roman lectionary provided&nbsp;the basis for the lectionary in 1979 edition of The Book of Common&nbsp;Prayer, as well as for lectionaries developed by many other&nbsp;denominations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Common Lectionary, published in 1983, was an ecumenical project of&nbsp;several American and Canadian denominations, developed out of a&nbsp;concern for the unity of the church and a desire for a common&nbsp;experience of Scripture. It was intended as a harmonization of the&nbsp;many different denominational approaches to the three-year lectionary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Revised Common Lectionary, published in 1992 and officially&nbsp;adopted by The Episcopal Church in 2006, takes into account&nbsp;constructive criticism of the Common Lectionary based on the&nbsp;evaluation of its trial use, and as the current prayer-book&nbsp;lectionary, is a three-year cycle of Sunday Eucharistic readings in&nbsp;which Matthew, Mark, and Luke are read in successive years with some&nbsp;material from John read in each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>USEFUL LINKS:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"line-height:1.5\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lectionarypage.net\">http:\/\/www.lectionarypage.net<\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/satucket.com\/lectionary\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/satucket.com\/lectionary\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Revised Common Lectionary: Years A, B and C<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.episcopalchurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/RCL_pages_for_BCP-cropped.pdf\">Revised Common Lectionary: Years A, B And C<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.episcopalchurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/RCL_pages_for_BCP-cropped.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the Revised Common Lectionary A lectionary is a table of readings from Scripture appointed to be&nbsp;read at public worship.
