This lectionary is based upon the basic Christian liturgical calendar, so anyone who is familiar with the Daily Office lectionary in the Book of Common Prayer will immediately recognize most of its features.  It starts in Advent, but is meant to be a cycle from year to year.  Over the course of each year, one will read the Hebrew Old Testament, the Apocrypha (according to Western tradition), the Christian New Testament, and the Apostolic Fathers, all in their entirety.

It has five readings per day: two in the morning, two in the evening, and one at night.  Each of these follow a different track, roughly chronological order through the course of the year.  In the morning it takes you through 1) the Torah and the prophetic writings, and 2) the four Gospel books as well as Acts.  In the morning it takes you through 1) the OT historical writings, and 2) the other NT and Apostolic writings.  In the night, it goes through the OT and Apocryphal wisdom literature.  The Psalms are excluded from this lectionary, because it is assumed that these readings will be incorporated into the Daily Office (morning, evening, and night prayers), wherein the Psalms are already covered.

The primary difference between this lectionary and typical Anglican lectionaries is the handling of the “green seasons,” technically known as Ordinary Time.  Rather than estimating the number of weeks between Epiphany and Lent versus the weeks between Pentecost and Advent, those two periods of time are considered as one: “Ordinary Time.”  How this plays out, then, is that after Epiphany’s calendar week ends, Ordinary Time begins.  On Ash Wednesday, Ordinary Time is interrupted.  When Pentecost Sunday arrives, Ordinary Time is continued on the next week from where it left off.

Additionally, major holy days are appended to this lectionary.  The readings for these are greatly reduced compared to traditional Anglican office lectionaries, having only the morning readings replaced.
