Creed, prayers of Intercession
Liturgy of the Eucharist
Liturgy of the Eucharist (Offertory, Eucharistic prayers, Transubstantiation, Our Father,
peace of Christ, Communion)
Why is the Eucharist important
Eucharist is important as Jesus said “Do this in memory of me” at the last supper. It
unites Catholics in the body of Christ and gives them spiritual nourishment
Explain protestant and quakers views on the Eucharist
Some protestants see the Eucharist only as symbolic of Christs body and blood so do
not receive it as frequently. Quakers do not have it at all.
Explain the mass of other denominations
For some protestants the mass is less structured (Quakers and Salvation Army –
more personal like a prayer group). Others may involve spontaneous prayer –
evangelical)
