Protestant "Liturgical" Churches???

[James_2_24]

Which Protestant denominations have liturgies that resemble closely or someone resemble Catholic liturgies?

Also which Protestant denominations still use crucifixes and hold Mary in special honor?

I understand that some denominations may be split themselves such as the Anglicans who can be “high church” or “low church” and thus have very “Catholic” liturgies or havce “services”.

The Anglican service is very similar to our mass. The also have another service, I believe it’s called Morning Prayer, that is dissimilar.

I attended the funeral of a Methodist aunt several years ago. Had I been somehow transported to the inside of the church so that I couldn’t see the sign outside, I would have sworn I had attended a requiem mass. Liturgical vestments, appropriate color, etc. However, I visited another Methodist church with a friend and the similarity of the service there was noticable, but much less so.

Some Lutherans also have services similar to the mass.

The other denominations I don’t know about except Baptists - NOT.

I attended a service in S. Clement’s Anglican Church in Philadelphia some years ago. Very reverent and traditional. The church itself is beautiful. The overall impression was that of a High Mass. I was told that this was the case in quite a few Anglican parishes.

Within the church is a shrine to Our Lady of Clemency.

“The Anglican service is very similar to our mass. The also have another service, I believe it’s called Morning Prayer, that is dissimilar.”

The Anglican services of Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer are combinations of the seven traditional canonical hours and their offices. They may be combined with a communion service, but not necessarily so.

To most Anglicans, our service is a Mass. RCs will not agree, for reasons we all know.

There is a small Mary Shrine in my parish. I asked for Our Lady’s intervention there today. My own mother was paralyzed last week, with a massive stroke, so I looked to another Mother.

[O.S.Luke]

It is probably helpful to know that in the U.S.military, some Protestant chaplains are categorized as “Liturgucal Protestants”, among them: Lutherans, Episcopalians, and United Methodists. They are categorized thus because of their worship and the fact that they baptize infants. Often, liturgical Protestants are placed in areas where there are few or no Catholic chaplains in an effort to serve troops in the best way possible.

As you can probably imagine, there is a horrible shortage of Catholic chaplains in the U.S. military.
