Glossary

Sacraments
1)     Sacraments are what the Book of Common Prayer describes as ‘outward and visible signs of inward spiritual grace’. The main two are Baptism and the Eucharist. The outward form of these sacraments are ‘water’ for baptism which represents new life and the ‘bread and wine’ of the Eucharist which represents the body and blood of Christ. Other sacramental signs include marriage, ordination, confirmation, confession and healing.
