| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Protestant is a | Christian church, broke away from the Roman Catholic Church |
| during Reformation. | |
| true or false among the various Protestant denominations, there are similarities, | |
| there are more areas in which they differ. not just between | |
| denominations, but within denominations true. | |
| the term Protestant as it relates to membership defines | "Any |
| Western Christian who is not an adherent of the Roman Catholic Faith." | |
| Some of the denominations which are most often referred to in describing the Protestant religion are: | Baptist, |
| Methodist, Church of Christ, Episcopal, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Assembly of God, Church of | |
| God and Nazarene. | |
| One of the main differences among the Protestant denominations is | the structure or worship |
| format which they use. | |
| The term to describe the structure or worship format among the Protestant denominations is | Liturgical. |
| A Protestant church which is described as being "liturgical" (or Eucharist centered) is one which has | a prescribed |
| order of worship or a prescribed form of worship which will be consistent throughout the country or world, | |
| while the worship format of the "non-liturgical" (or scripture centered) Protestant churches is | determined by the local congregation and their clergy. |
| The order of worship for "liturgical" will be | published in a special liturgical manual, a hymnal or a book |
| of prayer. will have the rubrics, or directions to be followed for that service listed immediately prior to the service. | |
| a member of one liturgical church, can | visit or attend another Lutheran Church of the same synod and easily |
| follow the service because of the liturgical style of worship. | |
| This is not to say that minor variations due to parochial or pastoral desires do not occur. However these variations are | |
| usually minor and cause the worshiper little inconvenience. | |
| two classic example of a liturgical Protestant church is | the Episcopal church. Lutheran |
| A second way in which the term liturgical can be defined is based on | the architecture of the |
| worship place. | |
| A church which is designed and built liturgically is one which is built in the | shape of a cross, the cross bars forming transepts or wings at the front of the church. |
| The focal point of the liturgical church is | the cross or crucifix centered on an altar or immediately above the altar. |
| the center aisle of the liturigical church has a | direct approach to the altar through a communion rail. the communion rail may be closed but access around either end is possible. |
| true or false A direct connection between the liturgical style of worship and the architecture also exists | TRUE |
| churches which are liturgical in their style of worship, use a prescribed order of worship in which readings, prayers or recitations take place | at certain locations |
| Rather than a lectern centered in the front of the church from which the minister will speak, the liturgical church architecture | |
| provides | for two lecterns. |
| the lectern located on the left side of a liturgical church as the congregation faces the altar is designated as the | Gospel lectern |
| the lectern located on the right side of a liturgical church is designated as the | epistle lectern. |
| The pulpit or site from which the minister delivers sermons in a liturgical church is the | gospel side |
| the readings and prayers in a liturgical church are performed on the | epistle side. |
| many churches which are not liturgical as to their style of worship may be built Iiturgically; with the exception of | one lectern instead of two. due to the popular acceptance of that particular architecture style. |
| many churches which are liturgical in their order of worship, have constructed more | creative architectural styles, still maintaining the center aisle and crucifix as the focal point. |
| Most protestant churches are classified as | non-liturgical both in their architecture and in their style of worship. |
| The non-liturgical protestant church is one which as | a church body has no set or prescribed order of service or worship, leaves form or order up to pastor in charge. |
| NON-LITURGICAL PROTESTANT churches may have suggested orders of worship for | some formal services, but these are suggestions only. |
| some NON-LITURGICAL PROTESTANT churches will conform closely to set patterns of worship, but they are | not church approved and they are not considered liturgical by definition. |
| you may find a similarity among Baptist, Methodist, Church of Christ, Presbyterian, Assembly of God, Church of God and Nazarene services, but the fact that they do not have to follow a set order of worship, makes them | non-liturgical protestant |
| This is not required in most protestant churches | Notification of the Clergy, it is sometimes done. |
| the decision making process of non-liturgical protestant churches resting primarily with | the clergy, |
| Most protestant religions do not place any restrictions on | the time or day for removal of the remains from the place of death. |
| with the protestant liturgical religions, the cause or manner of the death may effect removal, except | religious factors will not |
| this form of Preparation of the Remains is allowed by most protestant religions | Embalming . |
| The-choice of whether or not the body is to be embalmed is left entirely up to | the family. |
| are There any special requirements or restrictions as to the type of clothing for non-liturgical protestants | NO the usual choices made by the family is to purchased clothes from the funeral home |
| are there any special requirements or restrictions as to the type of casket used | NO the choice is left up to the family based on their personal preferences. |
| there will be more variation in funerals for non-liturgical protestants because | the clergy determine the order of worship based on preferences, |
| There will probably be less difference between a funeral held in the funeral home and one held in a non-liturgical protestant church because | non-liturgical protestant churches do not follow a set order of worship, do not use rubrics, candles, pall, no epistle or gospel sides, only a single pulpit for scripture, prayer , sermon |
| clergy within non-liturgical protestants church with exception of those who choose to wear a black robe, will normally dress in | their own clothing rather than a vestments. |

| In order to determine seating of family and casketbearers, in a non-liturgical protestant churches the funeral director should | become familiar with the locations |
| in the non-liturgical protestant church the funeral director should determine the policy governing the use and/or placement of | flowers . |
| The physical facility and the less formal approach to the service by the clergy combine to create | most variances in procedure to the funeral service in the non-liturgical protestant church. |
| Regardless of where the funeral service is held, the preferences of the clergy conducting the service will ldetermine | the order and content of the service. |
| Unlike the liturgical protestant service, when the funeral is to be held at the church, visitation and open casket viewing is more likely to take place in | the sanctuary rather than the vestibule |
| There may also be options for the family to choose as to . Some may want to keep the casket open during the service, | |
| after the service is over. Others may decide to close the casket for the service and re-open the casket for a final viewing at the conclusion of the funeral. Still others | |
| may want the casket closed before the service and left closed after that. | |
| Generally when is the right time to allowing final viewing or close the casket | the wishes of the family and the guidance of the clergy determine |
| when is a processional into the church used | when visitation is not held at the church prior to the funeral service |
| Since no acolytes or crucifers is used in the non-liturgical protestant churcheswho leads the procession into the church | the clergy followed by funeral director, the casket and casketbearers, and the family. |
| funeral directors may be included in the processional to | assist casketbearers with the casket and to insure the proper seating of the family and casket-bearers. |
| many funeral services end with a final viewing by the family and friends,what can happen to the recessional | it may not take place. |
| If a recessional is held at the conclusion of the funeral service, it will follow | the same order as the processional. |
| Although the order and content of a non-liturgical protestant funeral service is difficult to define, it will most likely include | an opening prayer, several musical selections interspersed throughout the service, scripture, sermon, eulogy and a benediction or closing prayer. |
| The committal service for the non-liturgical protestant will be dictated by | preferences of the officiating clergy. |
| The procession to the grave site will be led by the | clergy with casket, bearers and family following. |
| Once the casket has been placed on the lowering device, the clergy lead committal service through | prayer, scripture, and benediction or closing prayer. |
