And (no surprise from journeying with beloved Clint on many other issues and discussions...and time at seminary) i have come to a similar place; i too invite all to the Meal as it is Christ's. I figure with the invitation clearly stated as this being the body and blood of Christ Jesus, those who do not regard it as such will choose on their own to not partake.<BR/>Discussions of who "understands" or is "properly prepared" are ultimately fruitless, for we are placing laws on God's wonderful gift to us.~dgeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832557403098163141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-28351341443338714932007-07-25T19:29:00.000-05:002007-07-25T19:29:00.000-05:00Amen!

I attended a very Catholic (2.3hrs) wedding ceremony this summer and was uncomfortable with communion looming on the schedule and no info about what it was going to look like. I took the fearful, faithless approach and took a walk with my daughter who truly did need a break. -- but the timing was quite intentional on my part.<BR/><BR/>The possibility of not being invited felt pretty creepy.hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229223828284753266noreply@blogger.com
