Catholics do not TAKE Holy Communion, they may only RECEIVE it from a priest or a licensed Eucharistic Minister.

Vicars wear a cross around their necks as a symbol of their faith in Christ. Some crosses are very ornate, while others are very plain.

I can speak about a scratch dial first hand as we have one on our parish church. Scratch dials were in regular use before clocks and especially watches were generally available to tell the time. Before mechanical timepieces the only reliable way (and that was not that reliable!) was by using the sun's position in the sky, and hence a sundial. A scratch dial is made of a small hole in the wall of a church (around 3/4 inch in diameter and an inch deep) surrounded by lines radiating from it at particular angles like the spokes in a wheel. The lines represent the times, on a Sunday, of the various services and were spaced out accordingly when the dial was made. To use a scratch dial, a finger is inserted into the hole perpendicular to the wall, and the edge of the sun's shadow of the finger is examined against the lines scratched into the stone, so that a visitor can see how long it will be before the next service.

Bishops are ordained members of the Christian clergy. If a bishop is retired then they are simply addressed by name.

A verger (or virger, so called after the staff of the office) is a person, usually a layperson, who assists in the ordering of religious services, particularly in Anglican churches.

There are some churches that are for everyone, but it's more due to history, community, and ethnicity that people connect to in church. For example, in America, the way African-Americans preach and sing(gospel) in their church is different from white American churches. People believe in God regardless of race or culture, but people feel more comfortable worshipping God with their own people due to what they are used to and their cultural beliefs. In the olden days, African-Americans not only prayed in church during slavery and segregation; it was a sort of therapy for them, where they were able to be 100% totally themselves, away from the world's cruelty. For example, with music, many immigrants(and their children born in america) who reside in America go to their cultural church, like the Russians, Haitians, Nigerians, Ghanaians, Hispanics, Asians, etc. Most people in this country feel comfortable preaching with their own not only because it is what they are used to, but some cultures worship God different ways from others from their cultural homeland. Whether it's the music, or ways they pray. Their are multicultural churches, but most people go to churches, in which they are surrounded by people that are similar to them.

A decorated orange is called a Christingle.

This is a tradition with its origins in the Moravian church. The tradition later spread to Anglican and some other churches.

Church is the assembly of the People that God has called together from the ends of the earth. In Catholic usage, the word "Church" has three inseparable meanings:

• The People that God gathers in the whole world

• The local church (diocese)

• The liturgical (above all Eucharistic) assembly The Church draws her life from the Word and the Body of Christ, and so herself becomes Christ's Body. In the Nicene Creed (from 325 C.E.), the Church is professed to be one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. A church is a building where "the" Church comes together to worship God.

Altar boys or those in minor Orders usually hold the Bishop's mitre (or crown in the Eastern Rites) when it is not on his head.

Catholic; the Anglican Church

It is called the Anglican Church and is Protestant.

The Daughters of the King is an Episcopal Order of women who commit themselves to prayer and service. Members are expected to also be members of churches in full or near communion with the Episcopal Church (USA), which is the largest US body in the Anglican Communion.  

Some Anglicans (known as Episcopalians in the US) use icons in their churches. Most fall into the category of "high church" Anglicans, rather than the "low church" Anglicans. High church Anglicans frequently use icons, incense and bells as a means of facilitating worship and relationship to God, whereas the low church Anglicans tend to believe excessive rituals and implements distract from worship and relationship. In many places around the world, Anglicans are emphasizing their ancient roots and are encouraging the use of icons and other devotional practices again. For example, St Paul's Cathedral in London, has a large icon of the Virgin Mary and Christ on its wall. The current Archbishop of Canterbury, The Most Reverend Dr. Rowan Williams, also encourages the use of icons as part of Anglican services.

It may also be argued that the Anglican tradition has long emphasized words as iconography even more than images. Examples can be found in the mystical and poetical tradition throughout Anglicanism's history. Examples may include such notable "icons" as "St. Patrick's Breastplate," the poetry of John Donne, and the Book of Common Prayer, itself.

The Orthodox Church, however, places much greater emphasis on the corporate use of holy icons in its services and some churches are full of portable icons and frescoes or mosaics on the walls. It continues the practice of the Early Church which has used icons in its Liturgy and services for over 2000 years. For example, the evangelist and apostle St Luke, himself painted many icons of the Virgin Mary and Christ. So from this, no one can say that the use of icons did not have an Apostolic foundation. Indeed, the Seventh Ecumenical Council, which is accepted by all mainstream Christian Faiths, made a clear ruling that icons are a necessary and essential part of the Christian Faith. The veneration or honour of holy icons has an important place in the Church, but it confirmed that icons are not worshipped. Only the Lord Jesus Christ is worshipped. Icons are venerated, which means respected and honoured, in the same way that we respect a photo of our loved ones by kissing it, but we do not worship them either.

Icons represent the transfigured Saint who is represented in the icon, and sometimes depicts some scenes from their life or martyrdom. Holy icons have been used as an aid to worship by Christians since the earliest times during Orthodox Church services. Especially since the Church had only the Hebrew Scriptures without a formalized New Testament for the first few centuries of the Church.

The puritans

The Anglicans do not have a Pope, but rather have a collegial system, similar to the Orthodox Church. In theory, the reigning British Sovereign, currently Queen Elizabeth II of England, is still considered to be the "supreme governor of the Church of England" and Defender of the Faith. In practice, the Archbishop of Canterbury, currently Rowan Williams, usually exercises primatial authority over the worldwide Anglican Communion. As the Anglican Primate, he exercises authority as first among equals, similar to the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople in the Orthodox Church. The Anglicans also have a General Synod, which makes their legal decisions and also decides on spiritual matters.
