Reason #8: Frequent Communion



The Eucharist, the Lord's supper, Communion, Mass...

Whatever Christians call it, we should celebrate it frequently! And Anglican churches do celebrate it frequently, and whoever would be Archbishop would need to recognize the importance of this.

Now some Protestants get a bit nervous at this, as if to say so is to be in danger of becoming a Roman Catholic.

Well, as we'll see soon, I consider myself a Catholic Christian, and unashamedly confess that I believe in "one, holy, *catholic* and apostolic church" -- so I think to be 'Catholic' is a good thing!

And I think to celebrate Communion frequently is a good thing, because this is the sign -- the sacrament, to use the technical term -- that Jesus Himself gave us to remember His death on the cross and to picture the gospel: that Jesus' body was broken on the cross so that we could come and eat at the Father's table, and that Jesus is now truly with us.

And we need to be frequently reminded of the truth of the gospel, because the gospel is the power of God for the salvation, and the revival, and the reformation of England.


Go in peace, to love and serve the Lord!
