6 INTRODUTION 1. The alendar included in the present volume is the Revised Scottish alendar, approved by the General Synod of the Scottish Episcopal hurch in The ommemorations have been classified into six groups which indicate not importance but precedence. Where two commemorations fall on the same day, that which has the lower number takes precedence. In the accompanying Lectionary category numbers are indicated in square brackets. Using the alendar explains in general terms the way in which the commemorations have been classified. ommemorations in categories 1-4 are intended to be observed by the whole hurch. Those in category 5 are optional, but in most cases have readings provided. Those in category 6 are optional and have no specific lectionary provision. 2. Readings for Sundays and Principal Holy Days are taken from the Revised ommon Lectionary. This offers a threeyear cycle of readings for use at the principal service of the day on Sundays and certain Holy Days. It is based on the table of readings produced by the Roman atholic hurch in 1969, which in turn was developed by the onsultation on ommon Texts and published in 1984 as the ommon Lectionary, which was included in the Scottish Liturgy (Eucharist) Reflection on the 1984 text led to the current revision, undertaken by members of the English Language Liturgical onsultation (ELL), which included ecumenical associations of churches from Australia, anada, Great ritain, New Zealand, South Africa and the USA. The Synoptic Gospels are read semi-continuously, Matthew in Year A, Mark in Year, Luke in Year, with passages from the Fourth Gospel occurring at significant points during the three-year cycle. The other New Testament writings are also arranged to be read semi-continuously over the three years. Old Testament passages have been selected for every Sunday and many holy days, and a psalm is provided as a congregational response to the reading of the Old Testament. If Old Testament passages were to be selected only to reflect the themes of readings from the New Testament at the same service, there would be little opportunity of listening to the Old Testament in its own right. The Revised ommon Lectionary has attempted to address this problem by arranging that the Old Testament readings from Advent Sunday through to Pentecost continue to be linked with the Gospel. On the Sundays after Pentecost (except on Trinity Sunday) two Old Testament readings are provided, each with its accompanying psalm. The first set offers semi-continuous reading of the Old Testament texts, the second set offers readings which relate to the theme of the Gospel readings. It is important to make a deliberate choice between 'semi-continuous' and 'thematic' readings of the Old Testament, and to stay with whichever set of readings reflect that choice, through to the Last Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 34). The Scripture references given in the Revised ommon Lectionary follow those of the New Revised Standard Version of the ible. Those who use other versions of the Scriptures should check these against NRSV, especially where verse numbers are concerned. All references to Psalms are based on the anadian Psalter adopted for use in the Scottish Episcopal hurch. 3. Readings at the Eucharist on weekdays are taken from the ecumenical Lectionary, which contains a two-year cycle, Year 1 beginning on Advent Sunday 1998, 2000 etc; and Year 2 beginning on Advent Sunday 1999, 2001 etc. Each set includes two readings, one of which is a passage from a Gospel, and a psalm. Readings are listed across the page, those for Year 2 (where applicable) being below those for Year 1. Scottish Episcopal hurch 6

7 4. Readings for use at Morning and Evening Prayer () are also included. Those for Sundays are taken from the hurch of England provision for a second Sunday Service. Those for weekdays are taken, with permission, from the anadian ook of Alternative Services. The readings are arranged in a two-year cycle, Year 1 beginning on Advent Sunday 2006, 2008 etc; and Year 2 beginning on Advent Sunday 2007, 2009 etc. As with the readings at the, they are listed across the page, those for Year 2 being below those for Year 1. For each day there is a passage from the Old Testament or from the Apocrypha, from a New Testament writing, and from a Gospel. These may be distributed between Morning and Evening Prayer according to choice. It is open to those who may wish it to use only two readings each day, one at Morning Prayer and one at Evening Prayer. When a reading is unavoidably long, it should be the only reading. If more than one Old Testament reading is needed for any one day it should be taken from the other year. For most Holy Days there are two readings for morning and two for evening. For some Holy Days (particularly for Feasts of the Lord), special readings are provided for use on the previous evening. Those who use the order of Morning and Evening Prayer in the Scottish Prayer ook may use the readings provided there. They are not suitable for use with. 5. The Psalms. In the Revised ommon Lectionary and the ic Lectionary it is often the case that only selected verses of a psalm are listed. This does not preclude the use of fewer verses or of more verses, or of the complete psalm, if desired. includes its own tables of psalms. These are not reproduced here, though for Sundays alternative psalms are suggested, for those who may feel that the choice offered in for Sundays within any one season is too limited. Those who use the order of Morning and Evening Prayer in the Scottish Prayer ook will follow its provisions for reciting the psalms, noting that in addition to the thirty-day cycle the Prayer ook offers a table of psalms which may be used on Sundays and some Holy Days. 6. Moveable dates (Advent, Ash Wednesday, Easter, Ascension, Pentecost) for the years from 2013 to 2022 are listed on the following pages. 7 A Guide to the use of this alendar and Lectionary during a specific calendar year accompanies this publication as a separate paper, published annually and available from the General Synod Office of the Scottish Episcopal hurch. Material from the Revised ommon Lectionary copyright 1992 by the onsultation on ommon Texts, used with permission.
