- "`The missionary importance of the eucharist' was repeatedly affirmed at the World Conference on Mission and Evangelism held in Melbourne in May 1980. In its discussion of the evangelistic task of the church and of mission perspectives, the conference emphasized again and again the crucial role of the eucharistic experience. It saw `the eucharist as missionary event', promoting unity and community and calling people to costly witness. The reflections and stories brought together in this book affirm and illustrate how, sharing one bread, we share on mission". -- back cover.
