I really have no clue how far the Wesleyan church from the Roman Catholic Church. The family tree for Wesleyans is Roman Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, Wesleyan Methodist, merge with Pilgram Holiness and the Reform Baptist of Canada, to created the present day Wesleyan Church. Most of the settings of service in a Wesleyan church is do to the influence of the Reformation. Now why would I bring that up? Until 1517, with Martin Luther, every one worship the Roman way. That would include the Eurchist, purgatory, and masses spoken in Latin. Why do I care to write about it?Since choir tour, I been looking at the words of Crucifixus, which is a part of the Credo-The Creed. This song describes the sufferings and death of Christ in Latin. Surely we could have sang iit in the English translation, but there is something about sing it in a dead languange that makes it special. Through the words, notes and supenisions, the listener can feel the nails driving into flesh, hear Christ say “It is Finish”, to them lay His body in a cold tomb. The same way could be for Greek. The whole new Testament was written in the Greek the common language in that time frame, spread thank sto Alexander the Great. Christ in Greek for anointed one. Kyrie Elesion which is the only non-Latin part of the mass, means Lord have mercy.                     

                        Okay, I not saying that Latin and Greek should be spoken during a church service. Is that some times the English translation does not work as well as the orgianal language. In the Middle Ages, the Church was regard as a sarced place to worship with the ritauls and Latin that can with it. What Martin Luther did was a great thing by put in the service in German or common languages so that the lay people may also be allow to participate in the worship. Now of days in seems that the church is a social event. Yes, its still a sacrced place of worship, but at times we’re just going through the motion. Roman Catholics also go through the motions, any christians do. Its that Catholics and any one High Church seem to hold up the church and Bible with more regard, than most evangelicals.
