Act of Consecration of Man, and six other sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, the Last Anointing, Sacramental Consultation (replacing Confession), and Ordination. There is also a special Sunday service for children of school age. Rituals and sacraments are the same wherever they are celebrated. Services are generally celebrated in the language of the country in which they celebrated. The Act of Consecration of Man lasts approximately one hour. Sunday services are longer than weekday services because they contain a sermon in addition to holy communion. For the sacramental wine used in communion non-fermented grape juice is used rather than alcoholic wine. Three Christmas services are celebrated, one on December 24 (at midnight) and two on December 25. There are also added prayers for different liturgical seasons of the year. Some chapels have an organ, and occasionally the organ has quarter tones in addition to the conventional (equal temperament) tuning. Tenets The Christian Community practices a complete freedom of teaching. The Priests may exert this freedom of teaching, provided that they do not contradict the sacraments which they celebrate. There is no official theology, nor articles of belief. Whatever is taught or written is a personal view. Basic tenets of some priests of the Christian Community are 1) free will, 2) reincarnation and 3) focus on Christ. For example, Jesus of Nazareth is seen as a physical vessel that enabled the spiritual being called Christ to influence the world. The ideology of some priests of the Christian Community could be summarized with the following points: Modern man requires modern religion (movement) The soul is immortal via reincarnation Jesus and Christ are separate entities, focus is on both. When Christ is spoken of in the sacraments, it is “Christ Jesus”, the risen Christ Jesus that is meant. Christ is both external and internal reality (Christ is not only ‘out there’ but at the same time ‘in here’) The New Testament should have priority over other documents in Christianity * No missionary work or public marketing should be done because finding this religion should be based on free will. <div> Ecumenical relations The Christian Community is one of several faiths, including Mormonism and the Salvation Army, whose baptisms are not considered valid by the Roman Catholic Church. The Evangelical Church in Germany also does not accept the Christian Community's baptisms, however, neither does it deny its Christianity. A study commissioned by the World Council
