What are special tools a priest would for his job in the middle ages?

In most English churches there was a lockable cupboard (an aumbry) built into a wall near the altar where items could be securely stored for use by the priest.These included a thurible (a censer for burning frankincense), a container for Holy Water and an aspergillum for sprinkling it, a pyx, paten and chalice for the Sacraments, candle sticks and various manuscript books: Missal, Breviary, Antiphonal, Gradual, Processional, Manual, Hymnal, Psalter and Ordinal. These books would have been considered just as valuable as silver pyx, chalice and candlesticks.There might also be a ewer (jug) for the priest to wash his hands into a stone basin set into another wall near the altar.See links below for images:

What to do with the bread and wine after the communion?

Leftover wine/grape juice and communion bread can be used to go to people who are Christians that live in nursing homes, are shut ins at home. The bread can be saved for the next communion but it is recommended to see the Christians who cannot attend church.AnswerIt very much depends on the tradition of the particular church.In churches where the Communion service is seen as simply a memorial of Christ's death and resurrection, and where the bread and wine are seen as symbolic, then the bread afterwards remains as simply bread, and can be used for any purpose, from being consumed at the service, or taken home, or even fed to the birds. The wine can either be consumed at the end of the service or returned to the bottle. In these churches the presence of Christ in the church is seen as more spiritual (in the Holy Spirit) and pervasive rather than physical.However, in churches where there is a greater emphasis on the sacramental nature of the bread and wine things are different. In churches (especially Roman Catholic churches) that believe in transubstantiation (that the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Christ) then any leftover bread and wine still retain the essence of the Body and Blood of Christ. These are then either consumed in total at the end of the service, or reserved in a special cupboard called a tabernacle (if placed on the altar) or aumbry (if it is placed in a wall). In this way, people who believe in transubstantiation regard the presence of Christ, as a physical one rather than spiritual, in the consecrated bread and wine kept within the church.


What is a Protestant Church?

How long is a piece of string? The protestant church is incredibly diverse. For most, the interior is simliar - or the same - as a Roman Cathoic church but with slight differences. There will be, at one end, an altar (called more a communion table, or 'Lord's table' in protestant churches) a communion rail, a pulpit, a lectern from where The Bible is read, pews or seats, and some means of making music - usually an organ. At the other end, near the door, is a font for baptism. These are the basics, but there are variations. For example, in a Methodist Church (and some other protestant denominations), the pulpit is usually the central focal point rather than the communion table, as Methodists regard the Word and teaching through the sermon as more important than the sacrament of Holy Communion. In Baptist churches the font is replaced with a baptistry - a deep well in the floor where baptism by full immersion is practised. In high church Anglicanism the church wil resemble almost exactly a Roman Catholic church with all the basic features with the addition of altar lamps, and an aumbry or tabernacle where the conscecrated bread and wine is stored. Low church Anglicanism will have churches that are more simple and more like methodist churches. Many of the oldest Anglican churches are identical with Roman catholic churches as they were of courses, Roman catholic churches before the split with Rome in the 15th C. But whatever is inside the church building, let's not forget that the Church is actually the people and not the building. In my locality in the UK, we have churches meeting in ancient buildings dating from the 11th century and before, in modern purpose built buildings, in cinemas, schools and even a pub(bar). It's the quality of the worship that matters, and what goes on in a person's heart, than what is inside a man-made building.

What does the Holy Eucharist represent in the Episcopalian Church?

No matter the faith many times the believer's personal faith is divergent to the disciple of the particular church. Whether it be: Transubstantiation; Consubstantiation; Transignifcation; Transfixiation or just simple memorial sharing. The good old Christian Brothers taught that the Anglican Church followed the Heidegerian Philosophy as can be found in "Sein und Zeit" "Being and Time" http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/119034637/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0 Wikipedia does not seem to give a concrete definition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglican_Eucharistic_theology Perhaps the best answer could be found in John Stott's "Anglican Eucharistic Theology" http://web.mac.com/brian.douglas/Anglican_Eucharistic_Theology/Blog/Entries/2005/12/30_John_StottBorn_1921Evangelist_and_Writer.html An Anglican (episcopalian) viewpoint As a member of the Church of England which, as a Church along with the Episcopalian Church is a member of the worldwide Anglican Church there is an official line as laid down in the 39 Articles of Faith formulated when the Church of England was formed in the 16th Century. In the Roman Church the belief in transubstantiation is official and widespread. They concentrate on the words of Christ 'This is my body./blood... do this in remembrance of me'. Therefore Roman Catholic doctrine is that the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Christ. In that, at each mass there is therefore a re-sacrifice of Our Lord's body and the consecrated bread and wine are a real presence of Christ for the people there. Therefore any 'spare' consecrated bread and wine are either consumed or kept in a cupboard called an aumbry (or a tabernacle if on the altar) so that the physical presence of Christ can remain within that place of worship. Therefore the consecrated bread and wine are given due veneration as Christ's body and blood. In the Anglican (Epcopalian) Church, however, whilst very few still pursue the Roman doctrines surrounding the mass, the vast majority remember Christ's words in a different way: 'This is my body/blood... do this in remembrance of me' and regard the Eucharist as a memorial of his death and passion until he comes again. This does not mean to say that the consecrated bread and wine are nothing special. Anglicans believe that scripture says that Christ's sacrifice on the cross was a once-and-for-all event and any 'resacrifice' at a mass is contrary to scripture. Therefore the Roman doctrine of the mass regarding transubstantiation and a resacrifice is inappropriate to the Anglican. One of the reasons for moving away from the transubstantiation doctrine was the upsurge of superstition surrounding the consecrated bread and wine, and, although this is not so nuch the case nowadays, the safeguard is still there. Instead, the belief in the Anglican church is that the bread and wine represent Christ's Body and Blood. In that, they are given some reverence but not in the same way as in a Roman Church. At the end of the Eucharist, any remaining bread and wine are consumed reverently either by the priest or by the priest and anyone else he calls upon (if there is a great deal left), and are usually not stored in church. For an Anglican, the miracle of the Eucharist is not in the inanimate objects of the Bread and Wine themselves, but in coming to the Lord's Table in faith and humility, and sharing in that spiritual meal where they can meet with God in a special way.


What is inside a church?

That depends on what kind of church it is. In most Protestant churches, there is a cross, and there are pews (benches for sitting on) or chairs, an altar (a step at the end of the pastor's platform, where people pray), and a stage for the pastor with a pulpit on it, and sometimes a section of seats, usually behind the preacher, for the choir to sit, and where they stand or sit to sing.
