I don't get it, church, why must you complicate communion? Matzoh and juice. Wine and crackers. What's so hard about that? Why can't we stick to the classics?
This past Sunday at North Harbor, we observed communion with Challah bread. Not only did we use this leavened Sabbath bread, but it was also braided to resemble a baby. It was served in a basket, covered in blanket, surrounded by dried grass, and passed around- a combination manger-Jesus, passover-Jesus, Jewish holidays, and Moses-themed- Lord's-supper. The bread was delicious, albeit odd. The service, as always, was meaningful and a great reminder of Jesus' sacrifice.
Brian: You know, I don't think fetus-shaped bread is going to catch on.
(No, but I wonder how embryo/stem-cell bread will fare with churches).
