“…everybody got it?  OK, because you’re never going to believe what else it is.”

I found this picture online and that is the first thing that popped into my head.

Jonny Baker, in his blog, directed his readers to an article in the Church of England Newspaper entitled “The Eucharist re-examined“.  You’ll find the picture there.  But more than that, you’ll find a discussion about the history of the Eucharist, how it was practiced in the early church, and how it changed in the Medieval period to resemble something similar to what we know of it today.

It really has me thinking about the way we celebrate together–and more importantly–what Jesus intended for us.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks its weird that we take a round piece of something that tastes like paper, sip a little wine, and walk back to our seats.  And for those that toast with thimbles of grape juice, don’t think you’re off the hook, either!
