I'm learning about the 'Reformed' and 'Traditional Protestant' beliefs regarding how a Church operates for want of a better word.
So I understand that many believe that Scripture says/teaches only the Minister should read Scripture in Church.
1. So can anyone pray or read scripture at a prayer meeting?
2. Do Reformed churches hold prayer meetings?
3. If only the Minister can read scripture, what happens to the church if it is without a Minister for a season? Say he leaves, or goes to glory? How can a church have a Sunday service without a Minister?
