Theology is based a person’s belief in God and the way he understands his relationship with Him. Like some of the other religions of the world, Christianity is also divided into three branches based on differences in some core idea and beliefs of faith. These three branches are Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox. These branches impact differently on people’s lives and their experience of modern corporate experience.

Methods and ways of worship have incorporated many variations in these branches of Christianity and it is important to understand their impact on lives of people as far as modern experiences of worship are concerned. To appeal new generation, modern church goers use a term called contemporary/corporate worship. These rituals include video projections, haze, lights, modern music, and things like that CITATION DAV14 \l 1033 (SANTISTEVAN, 2014). Talking about these practices in three main branches of Christianity, it is found that that Catholics and Orthodox are not much influenced by these rituals. In Orthodox Christianity, human beings are connected to God, body of Christ and Church through prayer and Divine Liturgy is their main service in which Bread and Wine are served. This is the representation of comparatively traditional approach of worshiping methods and rituals CITATION Wor18 \l 1033 (Worship in Protestant Church, 2018). Also, regarding Catholics, traditional approaches are prominent even today where several churches and denominations are greatly influenced by contemporary practices. In Catholic worship practices, traditional practices are common like bowing, kneeling and making the sign of the cross whether worshipping in church or in home CITATION Ken13 \l 1033 (Lamm, 2013)

Corporate worship practices are common in protestants and they incorporate many modern techniques and tools in their private and public worship domains. These include worship sons and hymns in the service and also have a special section in the church where children are also involves such acts of worship (Rayburn, 2010). Multimedia, dance, music and drama are included in order to bring the message of Gospels into lives of people.
