Answer:
The main form of worship for Catholics and Orthodox is the Mass which is NOT a commemoration of the Last Supper. It is the Passover, the Dying of Our Blessed Lord on the Cross for our salvation. Think of it this way, to attend Mass is to actually witness the One and Only Event of Our Blessed Lord dying on Calvary. At the Mass or the Eucharist you are witnessing Our Blessed Lord offering Himself to the Father, on the cross, and its graces are available to you as if you were on Calvary Hill in 33 A.D. because you are. Remember that with God there is no time, and He is making that one time event present right now for you. Catholics witness the Crucifixion of Our Blessed Lord every time they attend Mass - it is NOT repeated but we are able through God's miracle of the Mass to witness it.
Answer
The main form of worship for Anglicans is a commemoration of the Last Supper; it is celebrated every Sunday.
It is called by different names: Catholics and High Anglicans use the term "Mass"; Catholics and mainline Anglicans use the term "Eucharist"; Eastern Rite Catholics, Copts and Orthodox use the term "Divine Liturgy"; Evangelical (Low Church) Anglicans use the term "Lord's Supper" and, unlike the others, do not normally have the celebration every week.
Answer
The Holy Eucharist is the main part of worship just like Roman Catholics.

What are the differences between Uniting and Anglican?
The Anglican Church is headed by the British Monarchy and is an offshoot from the Roman Catholic Church. There are different levels of Anglicanism in Australia, with the High Anglican being similar to Catholicism, and the Low Anglican church being radically different, in ceremonial celebration and many areas of theology. ---- The Uniting Church is made up of the Congregational Union in Australia, some church membership from the Methodist Church of Australasia, and some congregations of the Presbyterian Church of Australia, totally different organisations that are now working in cooperation with each other. Some independent Wesleyan Methodist and Presbyterian churches operate, with a more traditional theology. The Uniting Church is a more liberal church.

Why is holy qurbana so important?
Holy Qurbana is equivalent to Roman Catholic's "Communion" or "Mass". It is direct participation in the body and blood of Jesus Christ, just as he celebrated on the day of Passover. It is one of the sacraments of the Indian Orthodox Church. It is a spiritual cleansing and a means of uniting with God through his body and blood.
What other religions are similar to Roman Catholicism?
The answer to that question depends on how one defines "religion" As some define it, Lutheran, Baptist, Anglican and Catholic are not religions, they are all denominations which subsist within the larger Christian religion. Using this definition, the religion most similar to Catholicism would be Judaism followed by Islam. Each are religions "of the book" and accept the God of Abraham, Isaac and Moses as the one true God. However, most will define the various denominations of Christianity as separate religions. In this context the closest religion to Catholicism within western Christianity would be Anglicanism (usually called Episcopalian out side of the UK) and Lutheranism. Each has a high church tradition which liturgically at least resembles Catholicism quite closely. They also have to a greater or lesser degree a sacramental theology which is central to Catholicism. To get the closest to Catholicism, one has to look to the east and the various Orthodox Churches of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. These churches most notably the Greek Orthodox Church are the closest theologically and sacramentally. Their liturgies are very different, but the theology behind them are quite close. The major point of contention between the two (the filioque clause not withstanding) seems to be the Primacy of the Pope. In fact, there are within the Catholic Church several so called eastern rites which look nearly identical to the Orthodox liturgically but who have accepted the Pope as their head.
