Reverence for the presence of God in Church at the altar and Sanctuary.
It is easier on the knees than kneeling directly on the floor.
So the people in the church who have come to pray do not have to kneel uncomfortably on the hardwood floor they can just easily kneel on the kneeler.
Pews are less expensive than the kind of plush seating used in movie theaters, but more comfortable than having everybody stand.
Many churches contain kneelers. They are pieces of furniture used for resting in a kneeling position.
Some Orthodox Churches use the new Gregorian calendar, but most Orthodox Churches continue to use the old Julian calendar.
Perhapsthere are some However all the churches that I know of personaly do not. Neither did they use them before tapes were invented.
In congregations that use kneelers, they can be found under the rear of a pew. They fold down enabling congregants in the next row to kneel on them during times of prayer. Some are padded and some are simply angled to help support the petitioner.
A church kneeler is a padded board or cushion placed at the front of a church pew that people use to kneel on during prayer or worship. It provides support and comfort for those who wish to kneel while participating in religious services.
If in a pew in the Catholic church, the cushioned area is called a kneeler.
Many churches' doors are open to visitors throughout the week for prayers or services.
Many churches will hold weddings for people that aren't members of their congregation or who don't attend their services. You'll just have to ask around at some churches in your area to see if they will let you use their building. Be aware that some churches will charge extra fees to use their building if you are not a member of their church.
Some churches use leavened bread for Communion because they believe the appropriate bread for the Lord's Supper is the common bread of the local community. Other churches use unleavened bread in recognition of the Jewish feast of Passover, which was the occasion at which Jesus first instituted the rite of Communion. Each choice is supported by valid but differing theological viewpoints.
Some presbyterian churches have deacons.
Some pastors do (I don't know about priests) and some people in the congregation do as well.
Some Mormon churches have polygamous worshippers.
