Question
Give the guide's two definitions of a sacrament.
Answer
An outward sign of a blessing given by God (Protestant), or the actual presence of God (Catholic and Orthodox).

Answer
Baptism, reconciliation, Eucharist or Communion, confirmation or chrismation, holy orders, marriage, and the anointing of the sick.
Question
What is the guide's precise wording about other denominations?
Answer
They acknowledge all seven sacraments but emphasize only a few or even none.
Question
What is chrismation?
Answer
Anointment with holy oil to confirm entrance into the Christian Church — the Orthodox form of confirmation, administered with baptism.

Baptism or dedication of an infant, believer's baptism or Communion, confirmation, conversion, marriage, and funeral rites.
Question
What forms of public worship does the guide name?
Answer
Eucharist, Mass or the Lord's Supper; non-liturgical worship; and charismatic worship.

What forms of private worship does the guide name?
Answer
Individual and family prayers, Bible reading, meditation, and fasting.
Question
List the ministers the guide names.
Answer
Pope or patriarch, bishop, priest, vicar, deacon, pastor, lay minister.
Question
Why do artifacts matter for a Theme 1 answer?
Answer
Because what fills a building expresses what a church believes — icons as windows rather than decoration, a crucifix rather than a plain cross, holy water, reliquaries and vestments.
Question
Why does who presides differ between the churches?
Answer
Because where a rite is held to make God actually present, the conditions on who may administer it are far stricter than where the rite is an outward sign of a blessing.
