Who conducts a church service?
Who conducts a church service? Well I believe that a Resident Pastor or Bishop of that church is qualified to conduct a service for the church. On occasion when the Pastor or Bishop are not around to minister, the elders can take control of the ministering and the conduction of the service in the morning and afternoon {If applicable}. Primarily it is either the Pastor or the Bishop. In the event of a church having Deacons instead of elder- they are not allowed to preach or conduct a service simply because Deacons (1st Tim 3:10) are only servants in the church whereas elders (1st Tim 3:2) are teachers or preachers. I hope this answers the question!

What was a protestant priests life like before the Reformation?
Before the Reformation, there were two Christian religions-the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox. Both had priests as well as bishops and deacons. There was no such thing as Protestant priests before the Reformation. After the Lutheran Church was founded, the word priest was dropped and today in the Lutheran church, they ordain deacons, pastors or elders and in some Lutheran sects, bishops. The Anglican Church after the Reformation, was and is considered a "bridge" between the Roman Catholics and the Calvinists and Lutherans. They ordain deacons, priests and bishops like in the Catholic and Orthodox faiths. The primary difference at the time the Church of England was founded in the 16th century, was the Mass would be spoken in English not Latin.
