Editing Liturgical year (section)

====Anglican Church====
{{Further|List of Anglican Church Calendars}}
The [[Church of England]], [[Mother Church]] of the [[Anglican Communion]], uses a liturgical year that is in most respects identical to that of the 1969 Catholic Common Lectionary. While the calendars contained within the ''[[Book of Common Prayer]]'' and the ''[[Alternative Service Book]]'' (1980) have no "Ordinary Time", ''[[Common Worship]]'' (2000) adopted the ecumenical 1983 [[Revised Common Lectionary]]. The few exceptions are Sundays following Christmas and [[Feast of the Transfiguration|Transfiguration]], observed on the last Sunday before Lent instead of on ''[[Reminiscere]]''.

In some Anglican traditions (including the Church of England) the Christmas season is followed by an Epiphany season, which begins on the Eve of the Epiphany (on January 6 or the Sunday after January 1) and ends on the [[Presentation of Jesus at the Temple|Feast of the Presentation]] (on February 2 or the Sunday after January 27). Ordinary Time begins after this period.

The ''[[Book of Common Prayer]]'' contains within it the traditional Western Eucharistic lectionary which traces its roots to the ''Comes'' of St. Jerome in the 5th century.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xZLNDitdTRYC&q=%22comes+hieronymi%22&pg=PA475|title=The Annotated Book of Common Prayer|publisher=Forgotten Books|isbn=9781440091988|via=Google Books}}</ref> Its similarity to the ancient lectionary is particularly obvious during Trinity season (Sundays after the Sunday after Pentecost), reflecting that understanding of sanctification.<ref>[[Anthony Sparrow|Sparrow, Anthony]] and [[John Henry Newman|John Henry Cardinal Newman]].
