Well, so much for Nostradamus.

The Revised Common Lectionary is a three-year cycle of church Bible readings 
that has been accepted by a remarkably wide range of churches for Sunday 
Bible readings - Roman Catholics, most "standard-brand Protestants", and a 
lot more. Some churches (including my denomination - I'm an Episcopalian) use 
these readings very prominently in their services, while others don't. There 
are several good Web sites for the RCL - I use
