Incarnatus: That part of the Nicene Creed which states "He became incarnate ... and was made man." In many churches it is customary to bow or genuflect at this part.

Inclusive Language: This refers to the efforts to find forms of worship expression which do not favor either gender. Some churches favor an inclusive lectionary and hymnal which avoids male or female pronouns such as "him" or "her." Some efforts have already altered prayers and hymns. This effort is being continued by the Episcopal Church in liturgical renewal and music.

Installation: A service in which a person is "installed" into his or her office, becoming the official bearer of a clerical or academic office. In the Episcopal Church, installation services are offered for new ministries ranging from rectors and bishops to Sunday School teachers and Vestry. There are also installations of an already consecrated bishop, as bishop of a diocese.

Intinction: Dipping of the Host (bread) into consecrated wine. It should be done only by those serving the bread or wine, not by the one receiving communion. The reason is sanitation. No one wants to drink from a chalice in which many others may have placed the ends of their fingers.

Introit: The hymn, Psalm, or anthem sung (or said) at the processional or entrance of the ministers at the Eucharist (BCP p. 323 or 355). Also known as the Processional Hymn or Entrance Hymn.

Invitation to Communion: The invitation to the congregation to partake of Communion ("The Gifts of God for the People of God ..."). Occurs in the Eucharist after the Fraction, prior to distribution of the Sacrament.

Invitatory: At Morning Prayer: the Venite, Psalm 95, Jubilate, or Christ our Passover; at Evening Prayer: 0 Gracious Light (Phos Hilaron) or other suitable hymn or Psalm. The invitatory is used at the beginning of an Office after the opening versicle and response and before the appointed psalms.
