Little Lame
Communion: isn’t grape juice and saltines a little lame?
When I was a young person many moons ago, Communion in the Lutheran Church in my town meant a thimble full of red wine in a cool little shot glass and a thin wafer of unleavened bread on the tongue.
You knelt at the altar and the pastor went down the line handing this out.
When I visited a Church of Christ last year ushers were circulating amongst the pews handing out grape juice and bits of saltine crackers.
Have churches completely taken the dignity out of the Communion experience, or was it just that denomination?
What you’ve got there is the result of the symbolism of an event taking over its practical application.
the ‘breaking of bread is a tradition that is likely more ancient than circumcision.
when you get together with folks, no matter what history you have, you break bread, -the sharing of this basic food, specifically of sharing the loaf (breaking it) and of whatever beverage is handy
-water or wine historically being the most common, though beers are fine too
-well, this is what you do when you get together. its just polite behavior, and the cornerstone of hospitality, community spirit and good will.
churches have long since lost the point of that, making a ritual without substance, and lost is the meaning.
They want you to focus on eating christs flesh and drinking his blood.
what HE wanted you to do was understand that this ancient ritual was representative of his whole message.
-that we share in the abundance, that we accept one another, that we live in the spirit of brotherhood and fellowship, as this ritualized tradition represents.
It is far more in the spirit it was intended to have friends over for chips and beer.
its a shame that it gets broken down to eating magic crackers and sipping magic grape juice, as part of a religious ritual.
the togetherness, the brotherhood is lost, when you just all line up to get a weekly dose of godflesh.
