non-sacramental

The church is largely non-sacramental, with large services that are well-organised.

All commentaries, messages and non-sacramental speeches will be given from another place in, or near the sanctuary.

It also plays a part in non-sacramental confession among Lutherans and other Protestants.

The Byzantine Rite maintains a daily cycle of seven non-sacramental services:

In some denominations, Deacons play a non-sacramental and assisting role in the liturgy.

It is seen as a symbolic memorial and entirely non-sacramental and central to the worship of both individual and assembly.

• Non-sacramental religious bodies/places of worship.

Since the Protestant Reformation, non-sacramental denominations are more likely to use the term "elder" to refer to their pastors.

Similarly, the marriage of a person whose baptism the Catholic Church judges to be invalid is a non-sacramental natural marriage.

The marriage that a non-baptized person, of whatever religion or belief, contracts, even with a baptized person, is a non-sacramental natural marriage.

The same minimum age is required for a non-sacramental marriage (e.g. marriage between a Catholic and a non-Christian).

Since only the baptized can receive the other sacraments, the marriage of someone who has accepted Christian beliefs but has not been baptized is non-sacramental.

The reader is licensed to lead non-sacramental worship (including, in some cases, funerals), may assist in the leadership of eucharistic worship and may preach.

Traditionally, the surplice is used for non-sacramental services, worn over the cassock, such as morning prayer, Vespers, and Compline without Eucharist.

In these parishes, the gown is worn for non-sacramental services (such as Morning or Evening Prayer), and the surplice during Holy Communion.

Normally, ecumenical worship services will be non-sacramental services of word and prayer, as we presently enjoy Eucharistic hospitality only with the Anglican Church of Canada.

Most US states provide the privilege, typically in rules of evidence or civil procedure, and the confidentiality privilege has also been extended to non-catholic clergy and non-Sacramental counseling.

The people of this country, not least its young people, need more non-sacramental services, services where the Bible is clearly taught, services where all are welcome and can be helped to faith.

As a school community we grow in Christ through a combination of prayer, sacramental and non-sacramental worship and the development of the strength of character to live the Christian life.

Others fear that the non-sacramental form of these services, emphasizing Bible readings, prayers and hymns, sacrifices the distinctive character of Catholicism for a more Protestant form of worship.

In U.S. practice, the confidentiality privilege has been extended to non-Catholic clergy and non-Sacramental counseling, with explicit clergy exemptions put into most state law over the past several decades.

A regular Sunday non-sacramental service was allowed in a hut normally used for lectures and adorned with pictures of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao Tse-tung and other communist leaders.

This is the essential significance of the Lutheran non-sacramental ceremony called in German "Konfirmation," but in English "affirmation of baptism" (see Confirmation (Lutheran Church)).

A blue tippet is also used in Anglican churches by readers, which are members of the laity who have been given special license from the bishop to lead non-sacramental services in the absence of an ordained person.

Recently, licensed Lay Readers, that is, lay persons who have been licensed to lead non-sacramental services or to preach often wear a blue scarf that resembles the tippet called the lay readers, scarf.
