So, is [the Anabaptist Eucharist] just a meal?!
No! When you share a meal together it is never just a symbol. It is always time spent together, being mutually built up, and sharing life together. And I want to suggest that when a church rediscovers communion as a full meal, then they rediscover something important about themselves. That is, church isn’t just a series of events or religious rituals; it is a sharing of life together.
So, what does a covenant meal do? It reconciles, forms and restores us!
In the breaking of bread, the community is recreated. The transformation that happens is of people, not things.
