We are having difficulties with data delivery to several calendaring applications. While we work on these issues, please know that we understand the popularity of RCL calendar delivery. It is high on our enhancement list, but because of limited time that we can devote to programming enhancements, our work proceeds more slowly than we all wish!

During the Season after Pentecost, the Revised Common Lectionary offers two sets of parallel readings. "First" OT readings follow major stories/themes, read mostly continuously, beginning in Year A with Genesis and ending in Year C with the later prophets. "Alternate" OT readings follow the historical tradition of thematically pairing the OT reading with the Gospel reading. Whichever approach is chosen at the beginning of Pentecost, the intent is for the remaining Season after Pentecost readings to follow the same approach. In addition, both sets of readings offer "complementary" options (indicated by italics,) readings that may be used with, or in place of, the standard reading.
