- "Traditionally, people have seen a very early separation between the agape or meal and the eucharist proper, dating back to Paul's comment about the meal at Corinth, in 1 Corinthians 11. The two go on to develop separately, until the agape dies out sometime in the sixth or seventh century, and the eucharist is preserved as the thing which is specifically done in obedience to Christ's command, 'Do this ..'. It is this which today enables the agape to be revived in a totally non-eucharistic context, as a throw-back to what happened to the agape in the third and fourth centuries. I shall argue for a very close connection between the agape and the eucharist at the beginning, with subsequent corruption of the agape into something that most church leaders recognised as a scandal. The lesson for today from this is that if we have agapes, then they must reflect the very early (and eucharistic) style of happening, and not the later (non-eucharistic) style". -- p. 3.

- "The statement published here marks a major advance in the ecumenical journey. The result of a fifty-year process of study and consultation, this text on baptism, eucharist and ministry represents the theological convergence that has been achieved, through decades of dialogue, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Over one hundred theologians met in Lima, Peru, in January 1982, and recommended unanimously to transmit this agreed statement -- the Lima text -- for the common study and official response of the churches. They represented virtually all the major church traditions: Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Old Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, Reformed, Methodist, United, Disciples, Baptists, Adventists and Pentecostal. The churches' response to this agreed statement will be a vital step in the ecumenical process of 'reception'." -- back cover.

- Notes
- Excerpt from Chapter "Eucharist" from the book "Being Christian" by Rowan Williams.
- "For Christians, to share in the Eucharist, the Holy Communion, means to live as people who know that they are always guests -- that they have been welcomed and that they are wanted. It is, perhaps, the most simple thing that we can say about Holy Communion, yet it is still supremely worth saying. In Holy Communion, Jesus Christ tells us that he wants our company". "His welcome gives us the courage to open up to him. And so the flow of giving and receiving, of welcome and acceptance, moves backwards and forwards without a break. We are welcomed and we welcome; we welcome God and we welcome our unexpected neighbours".

- "This book ventures a fresh look at the Eucharist in ways that draw Christians together rather than divide them. A respected scholar of liturgical history, Horton Davies here explores the Eucharist as memorial, as thanksgiving, as sacrifice, as eschatological banquet, as communion, as mystery and as liberation and social justice. A separate chapter examines the unitive concept of 'transignification'. Although the book as a whole presents ecumenical perspectives on the bread of life and cup of joy, Davies also looks at areas of disagreement among the partners in ecumenical discussion". -- back cover.

- Notes
- The author discusses the theology and practice of the open table for our sacramental understanding of baptism and eucharist. He begins by quoting the Lutheran theologian Maxwell Johnson, speaking about Jesus' meal practice. "Entrance to the meal of God's reign, anticipated and incarnated in the very life, ministry, and meals of Jesus of Nazareth, was granted by Jesus himself and granted especially to those who were not prepared and not (yet) converted, to the godless and undeserving, to the impure, and the unworthy. Conversion itself, it seems, was a consequence of, not a pre-condition for, such meal sharing." "With all that we pray that our eucharist will accomplish, open communion appears to me simply faithful. Open communion is plain sacramental realism, letting God use our sacraments to reveal locally God's already accomplished peace. It is as counter-cultural and uncomfortable as eating with prisoners in the county jail". "The Last Supper was emphatically not a gathering of the faithful for a closed meal. The Last Supper, just like all the other meals of his ministry, was an unmerited, reconciling act of divine hospitality". The crucifixion is linked to the eucharist. "In Jesus' shameful death outside the city gates and with the worst sinners he freely chooses communion with them". "The cross shows open table and baptism to be one sign. This death is also his `baptism', because again he submits to be joined indiscriminately to ordinary people (making one sign of his baptism by John, his feasting with harlots and tax collectors, and his dying with condemned murderers and terrorists). As the Gospels tell it, supper (rhetorically this concluding cup) leads to baptism".

- "In mid-August [2010], I attended the first ever Canadian Lutheran Anglican Youth (CLAY) gathering in London, Ont." "Most of the 1,000 young people were Lutherans. .... About 100 of the participants were Anglican. That reflects the deep desire of our churches to continue growing together in full communion. Through drama, music and teaching based on several of the parables of Jesus, we were challenged to think about how 'hands on' God is in the world". "I have a vivid memory of some 2,000 hands in the air waving to the songs of this gathering. One of the songs, written by Jason Gray and Jason Ingram, was entitled 'Fade with Our Voices'. It explores the relationship between our worship and our witness in the world. The chorus reads, 'Let our worship have hands/ Let it have feet/ Let it stand tall in the face of injustice/ Let our worship bow down/ Let it run deep/ It's more than a song/ And it won't fade with our voices'. That's good theology for the dismissal of the eucharist. Hands lifted on high become hands reaching out to help and heal the world. Beautiful song becomes loving service in the name of Christ whose body we are".
