[QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 76176039, member: 293637"] Depends on the ritual. Some rituals are mere tradition--providing structure in which the Church hears and receives God's word and Sacraments, in such cases the precise form of these rituals take can vary as different liturgical customs developed in different parts of the Christian world and have continued to adapt over the course of history. Others, for example the ritual of the Holy Eucharist itself, is given to the Church by Christ as a command, "Do this for the remembrance of Me". While, again, some details can differ, for example sometimes the bread and wine are received separately, sometimes they are received together either by intinction (dipping the bread in the wine) or, as the Eastern Orthodox do, administering the mixed bread and wine with a spoon. What matters is not ritual for the sake of ritual; but rather the orderliness of Christian worship and practice. That those things which God gives us may be received. This is why St. Paul rebukes the total chaos of the way the Eucharist was being observed by the Corinthians. Christian liturgical customs and rituals are built around God's Word and Sacraments, to ensure that the Faithful are hearing and receiving what God Himself gives them. -CryptoLutheran [/QUOTE]
