I'd love to be greeted by someone with a glass of red wine and a curry but also being a baptist it's not a common experience!<BR/><BR/>it strikes me that we need to nudge our celebration of communion back to being the centre of act of worship that at the moment it's tagged on to. We also to make it more participatory - maybe sitting round tables rather than in rows. <BR/><BR/>At college once we shared communion by each taking half a loaf around and breaking pieces off to give to our friends. There was no limit to the number of people you could serve in this way, no limit to the number of times you were so served. It meant that we each got lots of bread and juice.<BR/><BR/>As we shared the elements we talked to each other, prayed for one another, shared bible texts and words of encouragement.<BR/><BR/>It was very moving. I'd like to try it again in my church - though I wonder if I've got the bottle!simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470335172330595542noreply@blogger.com
