Heh, like I have any clue what a "liturgical church" is ;)
Sorry: some churches write down in a particular book what should be said and done at services for different events and at different times of the year. These programs of services are called "liturgies", so the churches are called liturgical churches. They are the churches who use a calendar like this one. Other churches never use liturgies, and just make up what they're going to say ad hoc. These are non-liturgical churches. They generally don't have special days and seasons, except perhaps Christmas Day and Easter Sunday. peace Thomas
