In almost all cases, the parishes in my jursidiction use the 1928 BCP and/or the American or Anglican Missal (the 1928 BCP mass and propers are included in the missal). There are some parishes which have joined us recently from ECUSA that have been given a dispensation to use Rite II in the short term. One of the advantage of the 1979 BCP is that it uses the 3-year lectionary. The 1928 has a one year lectionary, so you do not cover as much scripture during mass. Now, if a person reads morning and evening prayer in the 1928, and goes to mass regularly, he will cover most of the Bible. But many parishioners do not read morning and evening prayer on their own. They just pray, maybe do some spiritual reading on the side, and come to mass on Sundays. They may not be disciplined, or not be very "proficient", but that is what they do. That is a problem. And the Church has to respond to that. So I think a 3-year mass lectionary is a good thing to have. It gets people to hear more of the scriptures.
My jurisdiction allows the use of the 3-year lectionary with the 1928 BCP. And while I think this is a step in the right direction, I do not think it is a perfect solution just yet. The reason I think that is because the Collects in the 1928 BCP, and the mass readings and readings for the daily office are all supposed to "go together" in theme and sentiment. The 1979 BCP changes the order of the collects around, and so has some slightly different readings. Put another way, the 79 readings and collects all "match", and the 28 readings and collects all "match", but when you mix them up a slight disconnect occurs. It may be relatively minor, but it is still important. The lectionary readings were chosen for a reason, so randomly combining and switching them is not very wise in my judgement.
What I think my province - and others - should consider doing is authorizing some of the 1928 daily office readings to be read as alternatives for mass. So a priest would have three epistles, three gospels, and some OT readings to choose from.... though we continuers do not really have "OT" readings in our liturgies. That way we would still be using the 1928 lectionary. (Isn't it somewhat hypocritical to say the 79 BCP is "revisionist", but we will still use its lectionary, or other parts if it suits us?) Either that, or several of the continuing provinces need to create a new lectionary to serve our pastoral needs. But again, mixing and matching is not very wise in my judgement.
