What I think I'm trying to do with these things is to leave symbolism/memorial questions aside just a bit (not that they aren't important!) and ask, "Whatever these 'symbols' are, what are they for? What do they do?"<BR/><BR/>I think that way we can get somewhere before getting terribly derailed by the other stuff. I wonder if you read my other little theses on the Eucharist <A HREF="http://captainsacrament.blogspot.com/2006/03/ignatius-of-antioch-regarding.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641068117855718120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009348.post-1146147968880038632006-04-27T10:26:00.000-04:002006-04-27T10:26:00.000-04:00Kyle,Quite interesting stuff here.There seems a de...Kyle,<BR/><BR/>Quite interesting stuff here.There seems a deep parallel between the Eucharist and baptism as agents of grace. I realize that some may say 'duhh" but my point is, in both areas much of what is taught, written and spoken is concerned only with the symbolic or memorial aspects of these two ordinances. As fitting as that may be (although I'm not at all certain a tiny wafer and sip of grape juice are very appropriate reminders of Christ's passion) I applaud your efforts to re-value these beautiful, appropriate AND grace-filled sacraments.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>harryHarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211944440117238655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009348.post-1146147837713226832006-04-27T10:23:00.000-04:002006-04-27T10:23:00.000-04:00You're such a heretic...I'm trying to make sacram...You're such a heretic...<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to make sacraments mix with presbyterianism.
