The Consultation on Common Texts (CCT) is an ecumenical consultation of liturgical scholars and denominational representatives from the United States and Canada, who produce liturgical texts for common use by North American Christian churches.

A noted work of the CCT is the 1992 Revised Common Lectionary (RCL), a collection of readings from the Bible arranged and intended for proclamation during the worship of the people of God.  In 2005 the CCT published Revised Common Lectionary Daily Readings, providing a schedule of daily lessons related to the RCL.

The CCT originated in the mid-1960's as a forum for consultation on worship renewal among many Christian churches in the United States and Canada.  Read more about the history of the CCT or its member church bodies.

The Advent Project Seminar in the North American Academy of Liturgy presents this year's free-of-charge Forum sponsored by the CCT. The forum concerns society's "Christmas culture" and whether the Church's observance of Advent is simply a ramp up to Christmas or, in an expanded form, a call to rediscover something vital to its life and mission.
