Synopsis

A sacrament is a Christian practice that signifies the grace of God. In the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy and some strands of Anglicanism it is taught that sacraments are not merely symbolic, but that the sacrament itself is a means by which God communicates his grace. Most Protestant churches hold that sacraments are purely symbolic signs of an inward change.
