Similarities between catholic and baptist church...?

Question

So:
1. I need some similarities between the actual churches of the Roman Catholics and Baptists but that are NOT present in the Orthodox church.
2. I also need some similarities between the actual churches of the Orthodox and Baptists but that are NOT present in the Roman Catholic church..

Any ideas?

And I mean the actual church [as in the building] not the practices etc of each section of Christianity.

Answer 1

Baptists and RC's have pews. Many Eastern Orthodox churches don't have or won't allow pews.

All three have "altars" - but the RC and Baptist versions are visible - the Orthodox Altar is hidden behind the iconostasis.

Both RC churches have and allow organs or musical instruments. There are no organs in Orthodox churches.

As for the similarities in your second question - I honestly cannot think of any.

Answer 2

Are you asking about architecture of the churches? I'm guess you might....if not, sorry!

Pews are the big one with RC and Baptist vs. Orthodox.

In regards to similarities of Orthodox and Baptist churches?

Perhaps a lectern? Where the pastor stands and says a sermon? I have yet to go to an Orthodox service so I don't know for certain.

However, I will state that the Orthodox and RCC are built a certain way.

Frankly Baptist (and most Protestant) churches architecturally are boring. As stated above they have a roof and four walls and not much else.

Answer 3

Baptist churches often have a Baptismal pool in the wall behind the Pulpit.

Many Baptist Churchs Have installed large screens for displaying Power Point presentations...not sure about other churchs.

Answer 4

I have only been to one Baptist church. The only similarities between that church building and the Catholic Church building were they both had four walls and a roof.

Baptist church has no pews, no cross, no altar. It was basically just an auditorium.

Answer 5

I'm going with pews. Thats about it. Of course the obvious foundational structure itself, has a congregation. Baptist pews don't have the knee kneeling bar though. That's all I have for you.

Answer 6

Answer 7
