I know of Lutheran, Episcopalian, Methodist, and Presbyterian congregations which impose ashes. Don’t know if it’s denomination-wide, however.Which Protestant churches have services and apply ashes to their followers on Ash Wednesday?

Anglicanism not denomination wide. I know of several in my area who will not impose ashes. I go to the local catholic church. As my Rector does not impose ashes. And I am not allowed.I know of Lutheran, Episcopalian, Methodist, and Presbyterian congregations which impose ashes. Don’t know if it’s denomination-wide, however.

Thanks. I thought denominations other than Catholics did this but being married to a non practicing Baptist who once thought this was strictly a Catholic practice, I wanted to know which ones they were so I could relay the information.I know of Lutheran, Episcopalian, Methodist, and Presbyterian congregations which impose ashes.

All the liturgical ones do for the most part in my observations and cursory reading of the religion section of the paper! So Lutherans, ELCA specially I am not sure about Missouri Synod we do not have many of those, United Methodists, Episcopalians and Anglicans (continuing variety), and Presbyterian (USA). I also see a Disciple of Christ church that does as well.
It is much more common now amongst Lutherans in America than it was when I was young. I am LCMS and look forward to Ash Wednesday, and the imposition of ashes.Which Protestant churches have services and apply ashes to their followers on Ash Wednesday?

I’m looking forward to Ash Wednesday receiving my ashes, too. I used to go to an evening service but last year I went in the early afternoon and plan to do so again this year.It is much more common now amongst Lutherans in America than it was when I was young.
