Traditions and Rituals
Most denominations of the Christian faith agree on two sacraments:baptism and Communion.Baptism is is an  act that signals the beginning of Christian life and inclusion in the community of the church. Some Protestants baptize their infant children. Others baptize only those old enough to declare independently their personal faith. Communion is the reenactment of Christ's words and actions at His Last Supper and recalls his Crucifixion.Protestants believe that by celebrating the Lord’s Supper, they are remembering and participating in Jesus’s sacrifice of his life for the forgiveness of sins.In most Protestant worship,the laity has an important role.The lay people are expected to participate in the liturgy through song and prayer.
