I might add that, at least for LCMS pastors reading this, the Peters article you referenced appeared in the November 1971 edition of Concordia Theological Monthly. Both seminaries'libraries offer free access to their alums to their ATLAS databases. I was able to get to the aforementioned article using this method.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981007968826301699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-48491728252730542722013-10-05T09:20:31.037-05:002013-10-05T09:20:31.037-05:00Reading this makes me wonder what the policy is at...Reading this makes me wonder what the policy is at my own Lutheran church...

Unfortunately, I have seen unused consecrated wine just thrown in the sink (the kitchen sink; not a special drain so it remains on holy ground); i have seen individual cups put in trash bags (some of the filled with a good amount of our Lord's blood); I have seen wafers on the ground and stomped on (not intentionally, but it could have been avoided). You may well have a reverence for the gifts of our Lord, but I have seen too many times with my own eyes the lack of even basic respect for the Lord's gift by Lutheran congregants. I dont know how much of that was due to poor catechesis or just the anti-Roman knee-jerk reaction to prevent adoration--chrisUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038508116670615703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-22927404621814134372013-10-03T09:59:33.336-05:002013-10-03T09:59:33.336-05:00Anglican practice in my parish is similar to your,...Anglican practice in my parish is similar to your, with a few significant differences.<br /><br />We use only the common cup, so there are no individual glasses to be dealt with. After the distribution, any of the precious Blood that remains is consumed, either by the celebrant or the deacon. Only consecrated hosts are reserved for sick communions.<br /><br />We do not ever consecrate the cruet, only that which is in the chalice. (There may, in some circumstances be a need for more than one chalice.)<br /><br />Thank you for discussing this important information. It will help in the understanding of the Real Presence.<br /><br />Fr.

I have observed that there are those who are afraid of the sacristy. I have also observed there are those who think all this "fuss" is unnecessary.<br /><br />The truth is in between. Honor to Christ Jesus should neither cause us to fear, or ignore.<br /><br />Growing up Baptist, there was, of course a belief in the real absence. We were taught those who believed in the real presence were superstitious, and misled. Now, I know the truth, and just how LOW a view of our Lord's Supper that is.Janis Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947508427040251166noreply@blogger.com
