What is the main difference in practice between Methodists Lutherans and Episcopalians?

∙ 13y ago
The biggest difference among the 3 is style of worship. The Episcopal Church is a bridge between the Roman Catholic and Protestants. It is rich in tradition and rituals. The majority of Episcopal churches are "high church", meaning being formal and adhering to a liturgical practice. The United Methodists are a direct ofshoot of the Episcopal church and shares most of its beliefs and doctrine. Unlike the Episcopal church, the United Methodists have been more willing to adopt contemporary styles of worship, including praise bands and the like. You will find many UMC that are liturgical and are somewhat formal in their worship. The Lutherans are somewhat in the middle of the other 2. All three are sacramental, believe in the Apostolic Succession, and have ordained ministries. All 3 are in a formal communion with each other-allowing for shared preaching and celebrating the sacraments.

Is Ramadan similar to any Christian practices?
Ramadan is a Muslim observance although you could compare it to Lent which is a Christian observance. In Western Christianity, Lent typically starts on Ash Wednesday and lasts for 40 days. In those 40 days many Christians practice self-denial in any of the following ways: giving up different types of food, abstaining from sex for a period of time during Lent, or giving up something that they enjoy for the 40 day period. A major difference between Ramadan and Lent is that while I believe Ramadan is observed by all devout Muslims, Lent is not observed by all Christians. There are certain denominations such as the Lutherans, Catholics, Episcopalians and Methodists who observe Lent every year but members most other denominations only participate if they want to.

Lutherans and Saints?
Saints and sainthood are not a part of their practice. Of course Saint Patrick holds a special place in everyone's heart on the 17th of March without concern to faith. In the Bible, Christians are all referred to as "saints". This is the belief to which Lutheranism subscribes. Lutherans do not single out individuals to be canonised as saints: saints are simply sinners saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
