English Language Liturgical Consultation
- English Language Liturgical Consultation
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 [http://horeb.pcusa.org/nicene/ 1998] , the Methodist Church of Great Britain in [http://www.methodist.org.uk/static/factsheets/fs_worshipbook.htm 1999] and the Anglican Church of Ireland in [http://synod.ireland.anglican.org/2003/bills&motions/bills1.htm 2002] - but many of them introduced modifications, as can be seen in [http://www.englishtexts.org/survey.html "A Survey of Use and Variation."]
