Day of Worship--Episcopal

CANON 1: Of the Due Celebration of Sundays

All persons within this Church shall celebrate and keep the Lord's Day, commonly called Sunday, by regular participation in the public worship of the Church, by hearing the Word of God read and taught, and by other acts of devotion and works of charity, using all godly and sober conversation.

Sunday worship has its origin in the Roman Catholic Church. It was inherited and retained by the Protestant churches after the Reformation. See "Day of Worship--Roman Catholic" for details.
