Question about Upgrade
I've just upgraded from Logos 5 Anglican Starter to Logos 6 Anglican Bronze. I'm a little confused as to why there are so many Catholic resources, particularly lectionaries included in an Anglican base package. I can't find a UK based lectionary.

why there are so many Catholic resources
The forum post that fgh pointed to probably offers the most helpful response to that question as the person there thinks the packages too Evangelical/Reformed. In addition to that, I would add that we tried to include resources that appealed to Anglicans,even if the resources themselves weren't written by an Anglican per se. That said, I'm curious what, specifically, you are referring to in Bronze? (The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is the Catholic version of Schaff's Fathers. We included this because some of the introductions and notes in the Protestant version of Schaff have some anti-Anglican sentiments. There's a forum post with some illustrative quotes that I can't find right now).
I can't find a UK based lectionary.
I thought y'all used the RCL (at least for Sunday readings), is that not right? (e.g. here)
FWIW, we're offering this lectionary on pre-pub right now https://www.logos.com/product/45495/the-lectionary-2015-common-worship-and-book-of-common-prayer
We're working on more dynamic daily lectionaries, but they'll take some time.
I hope that helps, please feel free to follow up with more questions.

The RCL is widely used by UK-based Anglicans. Some Anglo-catholics still likely use the RC lectionary :-)
Many more Reformed parishes probably don't use the lectionary at all.

Thank you all for your useful replies. As I'm from a Reformed Evangelical background where the Lectionary wasn't used I wasn't aware that the RCL was used by UK Anglican Churches.

RCL is derived from the Catholic lectionary but is an ecumenical lectionary NOT a Catholic lectionary.
Wikipedia list of adopters (sometimes optionally):
The Revised Common Lectionary is used in its original or an adapted form by churches around the world. The Ordo Lectionum Missae, on which it is based, is used in the Roman Catholic Church in local translations as the standard lectionary. Various other churches have also adopted (and sometimes adapted) the RCL. These include:
- United States
- American Baptist Churches, USA
- Community of Christ
- Disciples of Christ
- Episcopal Church in the United States of America
