Why is the altar not as important to protestants as it is to catholics?
Catholics are especially reverent toward the altar because it is where the process of transubstantiation takes place. Transubstantiation is the process in which the gifts of bread and wine are transformed into the body and blood of Christ though the Holy Spirit. Protestants do not believe in transubstantiation. Instead, Protestants believe that the bread and wine are symbols for Christ's body and blood.
The table in the most sacred part of a church is called?
In Protestant and evangelical churches it is usually called the 'communion table'; in Roman Catholic churches, the 'altar'. This difference is because Catholic teaching views the bread and wine as a re-presentation of the same sacrifice of Christ at Calvary, with the elements changing substance to the real body and blood of Christ in every respect except appearance; hence the table is an 'altar' of sacrifice. In Protestant traditions since the Reformation the elements of bread and wine are viewed in a variety of other ways, including those which emphasise their symbolic and memorial nature, or to be the occasion of a real but spiritual presence of Christ; hence 'communion table' rather than 'altar'. 'Higher' forms of Protestant churches, including those in the 'Anglo-Catholic' tradition, place a premium on Catholic continuity, and are closer in practice, doctrine and terminology to the Roman Catholic position. Without taking note of the distinctions above 'altar' has become part of popular usage, especially in terms like 'altar call'.
