What is a “Liturgical” church?

Category: Liturgical Questions

A “Liturgical” church is a church that practices worship using a form known as a liturgy. This is a set and consistent program of prayers and supplications with scriptural readings from both the Old and New Testament, using Psalms, Lessons, readings from the epistles of the Apostles, and from the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It also includes the Great Liturgy known as the Lord’s Supper, Holy Communion, or the Holy Eucharist. It is not the freeform worship practiced in the Protestant denominations.
