Everything about The English Language Liturgical Consultation totally explained
The
English Language Liturgical Consultation (ELLC) is a group of national associations of ecumenical
liturgists in the
English-speaking world. Their work has been concerned with developing and promoting common liturgical texts in English and sharing a common
lectionary wherever possible. It is the successor body to the
International Consultation on English Texts (ICET).
ICET was formed in
1969 and, after circulating drafts in
1971,
1972, and
1973. completed its work in
1975 by publishing, in the booklet
Prayers We Have in Common, its proposed English versions of liturgical texts that included the
Apostles' Creed, the
Nicene Creed, the
Athanasian Creed, and the
Lord's Prayer. These texts were widely adopted by English-speaking Christians, but not so with Catholics who still use the traditional texts in a liturgical setting.
ELLC, in turn, published in
1988 Praying Together, with revisions of the ICET texts. These have been accepted by many Churches - for instance, the Presbyterian Church (USA) in
1998
, the Methodist Church of Great Britain in
1999
and the
Anglican Church of Ireland in
2002
- but many of them introduced modifications, as can be seen in
A Survey of Use and Variation.
