Sunday Lectionary Readings

A Lectionary is a table of readings from Scripture appointed to be read at public worship.  The association of particular texts with specific days began in the 4th century. The Lectionary developed by the Roman Catholic Church after Vatican II provided for a three-year cycle of Sunday readings. This Roman lectionary provided the basis for lectionary in The Book of Common Prayer 1979 as well as those developed by many other denominations. In 2007, the Episcopal Church transitioned from the Lectionary in the back of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) to the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL).

At the First Sunday of  ADVENT 2007, Saint Luke's Episcopal Church began using THE REVISED COMMON LECTIONARY (RCL) in accordance with the General Convention of the Episcopal Church. More information may be found about this transition at The Episcopal Church's office of Liturgy and Music.

Lectionary readings for Sundays and Feast Days, the Revised Common Lectionary (as well as readings from the old Book of Common Prayer Lectionary) can be found at  The Lectionary Page.
