Consultation On Common Texts




ecumenical group that has been meeting since the mid-1960s
to define common texts for Christian Liturgical use.

These texts have included the Apostles' Creed , Nicene Creed , Athanasian Creed , and other liturgial texts such as the Gloria and Lord's Prayer . Three versions of these texts were released in 1971, 1972, and 1972 (when the group was known as the International Consultation on English Texts, or ICET). See the Lord's Prayer page for the ICET text and a comparision to alternative English-language texts.

They have also defined the Revised Common Lectionary , a three-year cycle of Biblical readings for worship use.

These texts are widely used by many English speaking churches (some are listed at the Revised Common Lectionary ), often in addition to more traditional texts.
