CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The Revised Common Lectionary was, I believe, devised to follow the Roman Lectionary with some concessions on some of the more difficult deuterocanonical texts that are not as widely accepted in reformed traditions. I believe that the purpose was to instill a greater sense of unity and it meant that people who went to their own church on sunday would be on the same page when discussing things with other christians from other traditions during the week. It is a pretty solidly constructed lectionary and follows the ebb and flow of the ecclesiastical year with a good three year coverage of the whole gamut of scripture. So the answer is, it is good to use to direct your reading of scripture.
Anglicans in Australia used it until APBA and a new variation of the lectionary which provides greater continuity of Old Testament readings week to week. The downside of this is that sometimes the OT reading does not sit as well with the other readings as it does in the Revised Common Lectionary.
The revised common lectionary is available as a google calendar, which is convenient for webmasters and the like who want to display the calendar on a website or google calendar users want to add it to their calendar.

I've started using the Revised Common Lectionary - it's been a good experience. When I read on my own I still prefer reading a couple of chapters instead of jumping around but I'll admit, it's been a positive experience and recommend trying it.
