Do orthodox Jews and reformed Jews use the Torah differently?

The only difference is that in a Reform congregation a woman is allowed to read from the Torah. Otherwise the Torah is used the same way in both sects. Please note that it is Reform Judaism and NOT Reformed. Reformed would mean that the religion has stopped evolving. Reform Jews believe that Judaism should adjust with the times and that is why it is Reform as opposed to Reformed..it is still changing.
