This site, Lectionary Central, seems to represent a rather misguided form of christian traditionalism. In the wake of the Second Vatican Council, the Roman Catholic Church, along with Anglicans and Lutherans adopted an ecumenical three-year lectionary to replace the old one-year lectionaries of the western church. This three-year lectionary prescribes specific biblical lessons to be read for each sunday of the church year, including an Old Testament lesson, a gradual Psalm, an Epistle lesson and a Gospel lesson. The old one-year lectionaries prescribed an introit Psalm, a gradual Psalm, and a passage each from the Epistles and Gospels. Why would one prefer a lectionary that covered so little of scripture and excluded the Old Testament entirely outside of the Psalms? One would never hear a sermon on, say, Moses or Elijah or Daniel.

The Orthodox still use a one-year lectionary and are not likely to abandon it any time soon.
