About the book >.>.> Among the churches that have adopted the RCL are the Episcopal Church of Scotland the (Anglican) Church in Wales and the (Anglican) Church of Ireland. Their provisions also draw to a greater or lesser extent on the Church of England’s deviations from and additions to the RCL. Their precise local variations are not listed within the lectionary but users of this lectionary within those churches should by reference to their tables of readings be able to deduce whether on a particular day they follow the RCL provision or the English variations from it. A supplement provides the texts of the few lections for Ireland Scotland and Wales that are not included in the main te These are a series of Old Testament Readings in Eastertide and the readings for specifically Irish Scottish and Welsh saints. The variations between the RCL and the Church of England provision include some differences in the ways Sundays are described. This applies particularly on the Sundays after Epiphany and before Lent and in the time between Trinity Sunday and the First Sunday of Advent. In each case the alternative designations are given. Exclusively Church of England variations and designations are indicated by a ? in the margin. One particular feature of the RCL reproduced in the Church of England lectionary is the provision of alternative Old Testament readings for the period of Ordinary Time (the Sun- days after Trinity). In Track 1 the approach to the Old Testament is ‘semi-continuous’. In other words one biblical book is followed through in a series of readings over a number of weeks without any pre-determined relationship with the other readings that day. (SP)
