Presbyterian  and  Reformed The  Presbyterian  and  Reformed  faith  traditions  utilize  a  number  of forms  of  worship.  Some  of  these  worship  forms  may  be  found  within  the following  texts: The  Provisional  Book  of  Common  Worship  (1966) The  Provisional  Liturgy  (1963) The  Book  of  Common  Order  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  Canada Presbyterian  and  Reformed  chaplains  should  be  consulted  for  specific guidance  concerning  their  form  of  worship. Free Church The  forms  of  worship  utilized  by  the  free  church  traditions  are  varied. Dependent  upon  the  religious  body,  a  standard  worship  form  may  or  may not  be  specified.  Such  rites  as  do  exist  within  the  free  church  traditions generally  make  extensive  use  of  the  Bible.  Chaplains  from  this  tradition should  be  consulted  for  specific  guidance  concerning  their  form  of  worship. SACRAMENTS Among  some  Christian  groups,  a  “sacrament”   is   considered   to   be   a religious rite originated by Christ. The sacraments celebrated by the Roman Catholic  and  Eastern  Orthodox  faith  traditions  are: BAPTISM—This is the sacrament of spiritual rebirth that gives souls the  new  life  of  sanctifying  grace  by  which  they  become  children  of  God. CONFIRMATION  or  CHRISMATION—This  is  the  sacrament  of spiritual  strength  and  maturity  through  which  the  Holy  Spirit  enables Catholics  to  profess  their  faith. HOLY   EUCHARIST   or   COMMUNION—This   is   the   sacrament   in which Jesus Christ is considered to be contained, offered, and received in the elements of bread and wine. PENANCE  or  CONFESSION—This  is  the  sacrament  by  which  sins are forgiven through the absolution of the priest. Penance also provides the opportunity for persons to receive spiritual advice and instruction from their confessor. VIATICUM   or   SACRAMENT   OF   THE   SICK—This   is   the   sacra- ment  for  all  those  who  are  sick  or  are  in  danger  of  death  from  sickness, accident,  or  old  age. 2-26
