BCP Lectionary Readings

Where do the 1662 BCP Holy Communion Lectionary readings feature in the (RCL adapted) Common Worship Lectionary? The following table gives an idea. Third Service provisions are not given. * indicates that the texts are not exactly the same; "cf." indicates that the difference in text demarcation is more substantial. An equal sign is added to highlight where the provision is the same for the same day; in this case I have not always indicated additional occurrences (e.g. Palm Sunday). Occasionally the reading is only an option, e.g. in the provision for Pentecost and Harvest Sunday. The first, second and third columns are from a table produced by James Oakley. Go to the next post for a simplified list with references to the Principal Service lectionary only.
