Salvation, dear friend, please note that our Lutheran and Anglican brethern also share much the same beliefs in their services or Masses.

I've been to an Anglican mass in England (to quite a few actually before the penny dropped!) and their practises and beliefs are similar to ours.

I prefer not to use the term "Protestant" for our brothers and sisters in Christ but as per their separate faith foundations like Lutherans, Anglicans, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Baptists, Methodists etc.

[Salvation]

I, too, have been to a service in an Anglican Church. Very reverent.

Now being in some others — oops — this is an ecumenical thread.

C’mon! Everybody knows ‘doze Cat-licks don’t know nut’in ‘bout the Bible. BIG Sarc/off!

[Unam Sanctam]

Please provide the biblical basis for the practice of the “liturgy.”

How about "do this in memory of me"?

The Mass is an excellent book by Dr. Ed Sri of the Augustine Institute, a Catholic graduate school of Theology in Denver. It takes the reader through every aspect of the Mass and shows how it relates to our Biblical heritage (Old Testament). He also covers the coming changes this Advent in certain prayers and responses.

There is a video program of 5 sessions taught by Dr. Sri which is available from Ascension Press. It is an excellent program to offer at the parish level for those parishioners wanting to learn more about the Mass.
