Which term defines the prescribed order or form of worship used by some churches, with the Eucharist as the central element?

• A. Liturgical Worship
• B. Non-liturgical Worship
• C. Narthex
• D. Nave

Answer: (A)

Liturgical worship is a structured, prescribed form of worship in which the order of service is fixed and the Eucharist (Communion) is central. In this approach, the service follows a set sequence—often including readings, prayers, hymns, liturgical actions, and specific vestments and rituals tied to a church calendar—so the congregation participates in a shared, traditional pattern each time they gather. This contrasts with non-liturgical worship, which tends to be more free-form and spontaneous, with less prescribed structure and fewer standard rites. The other terms refer to church architecture rather than the style of worship: the narthex is the entrance area, and the nave is the main sanctuary where the congregation sits. So the term that best describes the described practice is liturgical worship.
