Where do the prayers come from?
The texts of the Revised Common Lectionary Prayers have been made possible with the cooperation of the Consultation on Common Texts, the ecumenical authoring body for the Revised Common Lectionary, as well as the initiating body for the prayers. The prayers were written by many pastors from across the denominational spectrum — Catholic, Christian, Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopal, etc. They are the group to which the credit belongs. They are reproduced from Revised Common Lectionary Prayers, copyright © 2002 Consultation on Common Texts, Augsburg Fortress. Used by permission.
