SUNDAY READINGS
Those listed for Sundays and Festivals are drawn from the Table of Readings in the Book of Common Prayer (the listings for a Third Service are not included [but may be found by following the links from here - Webmaster]). Copyright approval has been given to reproduce these. Those for weekdays are from tables approved by theHouse of Bishops in 2004 and 2005.

The ‡ prefaced to Gospel readings in the Second Service listing is a provision to be used if that service is a celebration of Holy Communion.

WEEKDAY PSALMS
Psalter provision is given for Morning (M) and Evening (E). During seasons the selection is of psalms appropriate to the season are as arranged. In ordinary time psalms are for the most part read in course. The final cycle of the year omits some psalms well-used during the seasons.

An optional provision indicated by [B] is the provision in the Consultation for Common Texts Revised Common Lectionary Daily Readings: normally the same psalm for the Thursday, Friday and Saturday preceding Sunday and another for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday following.

WEEKDAY READINGS
Listing A is from the two-year programme which covers almost the whole Bible in semi-continuous reading over the two years. This may be used at either the Morning or Evening office.

In this year the New Testament readings are mostly from the Gospels. In the alternate year they are mostly from the epistles. In this way the whole of the New Testament is read over two years. The greater part of the Old Testament is also covered over the two years.

Listing B is from Revised Common Lectionary Daily Readings drawn up by the compilers of the Revised Common Lectionary and published in 2005. Readings for Thursday, Friday and Saturday help to prepare for the coming Sunday; those for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday reflect upon it.

Where MP and EP are celebrated this may be used either in the morning or evening. Because of its link with the Sunday readings of the three year cycle, when only one office is celebrated this may be used where an irregular congregation might find the A table less than helpful. The readings for Wednesday and Saturday always include a Gospel reading and with the psalm may be conveniently used for weekday eucharists where the full daily table is only used on one or two days in the week.

This listing is from Revised Common Lectionary Daily Readings, © 2005 Consultation on Common Texts and is used with permission

DAILY SINGLE READING
In the listing for Holy Communion (HC) the readings marked in italic indicate a simple provision for people requiring one reading for the day. The psalm may also be used.
