Within Christianity, worship is reverent honor and homage that is paid to God. Throughout Christianity's history, communal Christian worship has been liturgical, with by prayers, hymns, and texts rooted in Scripture, particularly the Psalter. Sacramental and ceremonial worship continues to be practiced by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Anglican churches, as well as by several Protestant denominations including Lutherans and Methodists. On the other hand, within Evangelism, worship is viewed more as an act of adoration of God, with a more informal, spontaneous framework.
