A lectionary is a traditional calendar of Scripture readings used to guide Christian worship, preaching, and personal study throughout the church year. Developed ecumenically in 1992 by the Consultation on Common Texts, the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) offers a shared pattern of biblical readings across various denominations and congregations. By unifying Scripture selection around seasonal themes, it serves as an invaluable resource for pastors, educators, and individuals seeking to study the Bible in harmony with the global church.
